| The core function and mission of
The Colorado Health Outcomes Program (COHO)
is to conduct and evaluate interventions which improve population health and the overall quality of health care. COHO is committed to expanding partnerships not just with academic researchers at national universities, but also within community organizations that deliver health care, public and private payers that finance it, and the many organizations dedicated to developing innovative health care technologies, services, and delivery systems. The health care system in the United States today faces many difficult questions. What are the best ways to measure a person's health status and quality of life and to assess the impact of health care on such outcomes? How should health care delivery be organized to optimize care for individuals with chronic health conditions? How can disparities in health and health care for vulnerable populations be reduced? Questions such as these prompted the formation of COHO in 1998. COHO shares its mission, faculty, staff, and offices with the Children's Outcomes Research (COR) program which was founded in 2001 by the Department of Pediatrics. Our investigators currently collaborate on a variety of grant-funded projects. |
