The Healthcare Delivery Science (HDS) core group within the SC CTSI advances health system innovations through research awards, training, and collaborations with LA County Department of Health Services and other partners. They support a number of projects through the Safety Net Innovation Awards in partnership with the UCLA CTSI. They also disseminate HDS results and research findings to health systems, researchers, and the community. Click here to learn more about their current and planned projects.
The HDS core also hosts a training program in which our affiliates present on a variety of topics such as: how to engage in the community in the science of healthcare delivery, funding opportunities for the study of healthcare delivery, and how to use the power of behavioral economics to improve quality and efficiency of patient-centered care. The lectures listed below are planned for October 2020.
