Delivering Better Care

eGEMs is AcademyHealth’s peer-reviewed, open access journal that seeks to accelerate research and quality improvement using electronic health data.

eGEMs is proud to work with a variety of funders to help move cutting edge research out to the field. One way we do that is through sponsored special issues.

Collaborations based on mutual interests and trust can make science move faster and farther.

This special issue includes papers on telehealth, machine learning, and incorporating social determinants into traditional health data.

This is the story of how AcademyHealth supported a community that helped shape the next generation of learning health systems.

Reflecting a discussion with federal policymakers and researchers, this report highlights strategies to improve care and lower costs for post-acute and chronic care.

One of my greatest privileges as president and CEO of AcademyHealth is the opportunity to represent you, our members – who are making strides each day to help us better understand and improve our health care system – in visits with members of Congress and congressional staff. It is an honor to speak about how health services research is revolutionizing the way we see and respond to health care challenges and opportunities, and I am constantly energized by the promise and impact of your work.

The March 2017 issue of Milbank Quarterly features papers on the latest evidence on issues from health disparities to low-value care.

A national leader in population health research and the use of evidence to improve health care, Dr. Wallace was also an early advocate for the use of electronic health data for delivery system transformation and brings decades of experience to his new role.

AcademyHealth joins an alliance aimed at achieving large-scale connected integration, and transforming the health sector into a health system.
