OVERVIEW + MISSION

The Institute for Health Metrics (IHM) has solved one of the most difficult challenges in medical informatics: creating consistent, detailed, normalized data that can be easily used for analytics. Our team extracts clinical data directly from hospitals and delivers it back to those hospitals in a standardized, usable format to support operational improvement at hospitals across the country.

IHM’s resulting base of clinical data is unique because it incorporates the contents of the clinical information system used daily in hospitals, including thousands of data elements per patient, such as lab results, drugs given (when/where, by whom), radiology reports, and electronic nursing and physician notes.  This centralized data system enables IHM to provide hospitals with a level of statistical analysis and reporting not feasible at individual locations.

We are eager to do more to forward the cause of public health, most especially providing data for health services and other research.
