Center for Health Care Improvement

A collaborative venture between the 
Georgia Health Sciences University and BlueCross Blue Shield of Georgia

     Established in the spring of 1998, the Center for Health Care Improvement (CHI) was developed as a collaborative venture between Blue Cross/ Blue Shield of Georgia (BCBS-GA) and the Georgia Health Sciences University (GHSU). 
     Our research activity has focused on a balanced program of work to address challenges facing both academic medical centers and health maintenance organizations. We began with six health services research studies which covered clinical and epidemiological issues, from interventional cardiology practices to racial and ethnic profiling in managed care populations. All studies have led to peer reviewed journal publications, national presentations, and in some cases external funding.
     CHI educational activity has also had a broad agenda, from addressing managed care principles and practices for an audience ranging from medical students and residents to GHSU faculty.
