The RAND Center of Excellence on Health System Performance is focused on identifying, classifying, tracking and comparing health systems in today's rapidly changing health care market. We do this to pinpoint the attributes that promote rapid implementation of evidence-based medicine into routine medical practice — in order to improve quality, lower costs, and create better outcomes for patients.
