Center for Healthcare Delivery Science and Innovation (HDSI)
CatalogAbout
The Center for Healthcare Delivery Science and Innovation (HDSI) is a research center at the University of Chicago Medicine focused on transforming healthcare delivery in pursuit of perfect care. HDSI represents the overlap between healthcare operations, innovation, and research, treating the healthcare system itself as an organism under evaluation. The center integrates research-quality methods into real-world healthcare practice, offering services including innovation intake, quality improvement determination, human-centered design, and data analytics. HDSI also provides grants, educational programs, and fellowships to support healthcare delivery research.
Funding Opportunities
Nursing Solutions Research Grant
The Center for Healthcare Delivery Science and Innovation (HDSI) sponsors an annual Nursing Solutions Research Grant. The Grant aims to foster research collaborations between UChicago Medicine and investigators at colleges of nursing, bringing new expertise and mentorship to UChicago Medicine to advance the delivery of patient care. Proposed projects should demonstrate the impact to delivering safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and/or equitable care and address the priorities of UChicago Medicine. Projects should focus on healthcare delivery science – the study of changes to how patient interventions are delivered and not the actual interventions. Inter-professional collaboration is highly encouraged. A UCM Nurse Scientist will act as the site Principal Investigator. The grant supports one-year research proposals with funding provided for salary, equipment/supplies, consultants or outside statistical support, and costs associated with dissemination. Limited data analysis support and project management support will be provided.
Travel Grant Program
The Center for Healthcare Delivery Science and Innovation offers a unique competitive award program to help defray the cost of travel and registration fees for trainees (residents, fellows, pharmacy, social work, and others), nurses or other healthcare professionals who wish to present best practice from delivering innovative care at a national symposium. Travel Grant recipients are awarded up to $1000 to offset the cost of registration, poster development and/or travel expenses. Awardees are acknowledged at the Center for Healthcare Delivery Science & Innovation's annual Quality & Safety Symposium. The program is designed for completed projects that contain methods to judge success through metrics and outcomes, and are ideally innovative in nature. All applicants must be affiliated with the University of Chicago or University of Chicago Medicine.
