2008 Annual Report
[ PDF, 1.7 MB ]
In 2008, the world began a severe economic downturn. As Americans lose jobs and health coverage, economists predict recovery hinges on reforming the nation’s broken health care system. There are no quick fixes. We need sustainable improvements to expand access while controlling cost.
Much of Group Health research seeks to determine which care is effective—and which isn’t. We rigorously compare treatments and medications for chronic illness and cancer. We evaluate, refine, and share innovations like the Patient Centered Medical Home—a primary care model that builds on our research in prevention, disease management, and in health information technology.
Read about this work in our 2008 annual report. Read also about our decision on September 8, 2009 to change the name of our organization to Group Health Research Institute.
