Health Services Research

The large academic institutions within the Texas Medical Center have sponsored our initial efforts to assist quality improvement based health services research, which leverages the data assets and technology infrastructure of Healthconnect.

This initiative will uncover clinical and research insights which could meaningfully impact the health of South East Texas.
Healthconnect’s robust clinical data assets can enable population health research on a massive scale.
The innovative efforts of this research initiative are pioneering in scope—Healthconnect is one of the first HIEs in the country to leverage its data assets for outcomes and health services research.
This initiative will expand the competitiveness of the region—attracting the best research talent, encouraging more federal and state research funding for the TMC, and attract healthcare investments for the region.
