Institutional Profile: Center for Connected Health.

The Center for Connected Health, a division of Partners HealthCare (MA, USA), is working to create a new model for healthcare delivery, by developing programs and innovative strategies to move care from the hospital or doctor's office into the day-to-day lives of patients. Our technology-enabled and patient-centric connected health initiatives are engaging patients, providers and the connected health community to improve quality and access to care. Many patients 'graduate' from these connect programs empowered and equipped to better manage their own health; and these programs are being successfully integrated across the Partners' network of hospitals and implemented by major employers. Our focus is to innovate, accelerate and operate connected health initiatives to transform healthcare delivery in an era plagued with a rising prevalence of chronic diseases.
