Center for Outcomes Measurement & Practice Innovation. Established in 2007, the Center for Outcomes Measurement & Practice Innovation brings together faculty, clinicians, administrators, students and staff for the purposes of 1) generating knowledge concerning the impact of care delivery processes on individual (provider, patient), organizational and community outcomes; and 2) developing and testing innovative approaches to care. Addressing outcomes of care across the continuum, the Center focuses on patient, provider and systems outcomes that are central to translational research by linking processes and structure to outcomes using sensitive, reliable and valid outcome indicators.
