Health Systems Science (HSS) is the study of how health care is delivered by professionals and experienced by patients and families. HSS recognizes the critical importance of the context of care (teams, leaders, organizations) and the patient’s environment beyond the care setting (family, social networks, and community.)
Our mission is to advance research, education, and practice in Health Systems Science. We are committed to improving population health, reducing costs of care, enhancing patient experience, and promoting provider wellness.
The Division of Health Systems Science is committed to providing a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for our faculty and staff. We are staunchly opposed to discrimination and racism in all forms.
As a division, we seek to identify, recruit, and support faculty and staff from diverse and historically underrepresented backgrounds. We strive to provide a community that is welcoming to all, and that encourages learning, mutual respect, and collaboration. We seek to foster a dynamic environment where research, education, and clinical care flourish, and are informed by our commitment to diversity and inclusiveness. The division actively participates in and supports other departments and community initiatives to foster an inclusive environment.
