Our Strategy and Focus
The Healthcare Transformation Institute (HTI) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization (a “do tank”) dedicated to creating health value by improving health outcomes, access to health services, and the way patient care is delivered.
HTI functions as a catalyst and collaborates with a variety of care delivery organizations interested, or are already involved, in new approaches to delivering improved value of healthcare measured by improved clinical outcomes, service, access, satisfaction, and wellness. While eliminating inappropriate and unnecessary tests, procedures, and avoidable ER and inpatient admissions. Working with care delivery organizations and doctors we explore different strategies, technologies, and services to assist healthcare organizations transform the way they provide patient care.
