About

UNMC’s Center for Health Policy is the region’s only center, focused on health policy, health administration, health services research and health administration education/development.

The overarching goals of the Center for Health Policy are to promote, advance and conduct research on key issues in health policy, creating actionable policy/strategic directions, while offering current/valuable health administration educational services.

The Center for Health Policy is engaged in a wide array of health policy issues, including health care finance, federal/state health insurance reforms, health education, change management, quality improvement and patient outcomes, public health law and regulations, mental health services, public health integration, and the effectiveness of innovative health delivery models.

The Center for Health Policy initiates programs and projects for academia, government, NGO’s, private organizations, health systems and ancillary health organizations.

The Center for Health Policy is an active collaborator with internal and external partners with a focus on applied, direct action. 

The many resources found within the Center for Health Policy allow us to craft projects and programs that can focus on the policy research and health administration needs of our various stakeholders/clients. We have an adaptive process that allows us to pull together the resources needed to address policy and health administration projects.
