Health Systems Transformation

Data, policy, community and systems science for high-value health care delivery.

Reimagining health systems for better outcomes and broader impact

The School of Health Systems Transformation prepares students to lead change across complex health ecosystems by improving how care is delivered, managed and experienced. Grounded in data, technology and systems thinking, the school focuses on advancing efficiency, expanding access and driving innovation in areas such as health administration, informatics, policy and population health. Through partnerships with industry and community stakeholders, students gain practical experience redesigning processes, integrating emerging technologies and addressing systemic challenges to create more equitable, responsive and sustainable health systems.
