New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Northwell Health opened its Center for Health Innovations and Outcomes Research, a 20,000-square-foot, $15 million facility, earlier this month.
The center, which is part of Northwell's Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, brings together a team of international researchers who will use technology and big data to explore healthcare outcomes to measure and improve healthcare delivery.
"Our research saves lives today — our findings have an immediate impact on patient care," said Thomas McGinn, MD, head of the Center for Health Innovations and Outcomes Research at the Feinstein Institute and senior vice president of physician network operations at Northwell Health. "This new facility brings to life dynamic collaboration and creativity our researchers thrive on."
The center houses more than 100 scientists and staff working on nearly 30 projects funded through grants totaling more than $20 million from the National Institutes of Health and other sources.
