Systems for Action is a research program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation housed in our Department of Health Systems, Management & Policy. Our team tests strategies for aligning delivery and financing systems for medical care, public health, and social services in ways that improve population health.
In collaboration with Children’s Hospital Colorado, we developed a model and pilot procedures to institutionalize the use of Health Impact Assessments as a part of hospital community benefit activities.
We study health system readiness and community preparedness for large-scale emergencies and hazardous events, tracking progress at national, state, and local levels across the U.S.
