About HRET

Mission and Vision

HRET's goal is to advance ideas and practices beneficial to health care practitioners, institutions, consumers and society at large. Its principal activities focus on identifying, exploring, demonstrating and evaluating key strategic health care issues affecting innovative health care delivery systems, educating the field about the implications of changing health policies and developing strategies for community health improvement.

Through its affiliation with the American Hospital Association, HRET accesses valuable resources, data and thought leadership. Yet it maintains the autonomy needed to examine issues independently and objectively. HRET's independent board and partners contribute significantly to the "brain trust" established at HRET.

Vision: People, communities and those who serve them working together to improve health. Mission: Transforming health care through research and education.

HRET's agenda is focused on performing research and developing educational materials to:

 Enhance community health
 Expand health coverage and access
 Improve patient safety and health delivery systems
 Develop and publish innovative research
 Explore and communicate fresh ideas and best practices
 Encourage and acknowledge research through fellowships and awards
