Partners in Care Foundation and the IFC/Research Center’s mission is to help shape an improved healthcare system through the creation, testing and implementation of innovative models of care.
Through collaboration to create new program innovations, which bridge gaps in our nation’s health care system, results are achieved which have great impact on communities, families and individuals, as well as the delivery system itself.
The IFC/Research Center also works to strengthen existing programs, and to increase access to home-health and community-based care for at-risk populations.
These accomplishments are achieved through:
• RESEARCH
Systematic inquiry or investigation of a new practice model or intervention to discover or revise facts, theories, and applications using either qualitative or quantitative methods
Examination of the impact of a program, policy, or process
Assistance in the design, development, or assessment of concept, plan, organizational design or system change
Systematic assessment of the needs of a community, subgroup or population
• DISSEMINATION
Widespread diffusion of information, models of care, and processes
