Weill Cornell Medical breaks CHiP's ground

Weill Cornell Medical College has established the Center for Healthcare Informatics and Policy (CHiP) to improve health and healthcare through informatics and technology.

The Center for Healthcare Informatics and Policy fosters collaboration among a team of faculty from multiple departments to address issues at the intersection of healthcare informatics and healthcare policy, according to the New York City-based school. Its members conduct research; develop, evaluate and implement new technologies to transform the healthcare system; and drive improvements in health and healthcare policy.

The Center's executive director is Rainu Kaushal, MD, the Frances and John L. Loeb professor of medical informatics and chief of the division of quality and medical informatics at Weill Cornell Medical College.

The Center comprises members and affiliates from various departments, including pediatrics, public health, medicine, radiology, pathology and urology.
