A Unique Collaboration

A problem as complex as the U.S. health care system needs the focus and expertise of many disciplines. The Center for Health Care Delivery Science represents an aggressive collaboration across all the schools at Dartmouth—undergraduate and graduate—and its affiliated health system, Dartmouth-Hitchcock.

The Dartmouth Atlas

Recently passed health care reform will give millions of Americans full access to the health care system for the first time. Yet, as shown on this map from the Dartmouth Atlas, costs and quality of care vary enormously across the country. Health Care Delivery Science is about making sure that every patient receives not just access to health care, but care that that is high quality, safe, and effective, no matter where you live.
