What does it mean to accelerate care transformation?

Research plays an essential role in solving health care’s toughest challenges. But we need a faster, more practical, and more representative way to leverage research to improve health and health equity for whole communities.   

The Center for Accelerating Care Transformation (ACT Center) is a team of  health scientists, care providers, and other experts with decades of experience leading collaborative, evidence-based efforts to transform care. We partner with patients, care teams, health care leaders, researchers, and funders nationwide to:

• Rapidly move research into action to achieve large-scale improvements in care delivery.
   
• Elevate voices of patients, families, and communities in the design, dissemination, and application of research.
   
• Build connections that bring researchers and health care organizations together in the shared goal of providing integrated care that improves health — with a special focus on social needs and underserved populations.

Our vision: Better health for all

Now more than ever, we need evidence-based solutions focused on improving health for all people and communities. By combining rigorous science with our partners’ diverse experiences and perspectives, the ACT Center designs, implements, evaluates, and spreads innovations in care that are equitable and built to achieve impact in the real world.
