Mission & Vision

Mission
The Center aims to discover new insights in predictive, evaluative, and behavioral science to help individuals maximize their health, and to improve health care systems and delivery.  The focus of our research is on understanding, predicting, and influencing the health attitudes, behaviors, and experiences of diverse populations inside and outside of the health care system. Consumer insight, coupled with successful technologies for engaging consumers to change their health behavior, is at the heart of the HSRC’s efforts.  We will also study the effectiveness of interventions - procedural, pharmacologic and behavioral - on the maintenance of wellness and the management of chronic illness.

Vision
The University of Miami-Humana Health Services Research Center will become a national leader and internationally recognized in health services research, with an emphasis on practical health system enhancements, therapeutic interventions, wellness and health behavior strategies that improve patient experiences and outcomes.
