A Focus on Health Research

MITRE's Transforming Health research program applies information technology to help MITRE sponsors find ways to promote higher quality and achieve better public health outcomes at manageable costs.

Connecting Providers to move from paper-based silos and stand-alone electronic health records (EHR) toward fully functioning health data exchanges with privacy protections on a national scale.

Accelerate Health and Biomedical Research to assist the research community to move from stove-piped science to open science with data widely shared to move good ideas from bench to bedside.

Empowering Patients with Personal Health Information and powerful, user- friendly tools to manage their health and healthcare.

Targeting Public Health Investments and Incentives to achieve better outcomes and higher value by systematically analyzing information from EHRs and other sources.

In 2009 and 2010, MITRE's Transforming Health research program demonstrated promising new techniques for achieving interoperability and advancing the use of health IT to improve care. MITRE's 2011-12 research projects will investigate data management and analysis techniques and tools to achieve more affordable, accessible, high-quality healthcare and improved public health.
