Welcome to the Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact (HEI)!
We’re a department that powers the science of health care. We ask and answer critical questions in the broad space of health, health promotion and health care — we develop and provide the tools, evidence, and strategies that shape health decision-making, from the bedside to the policy level, ultimately improving patient outcomes worldwide.
