Health System Sciences

The Department of Health System Sciences integrates Geisinger’s data science, informatics and health services research to improve outcomes for our patients and communities. We aim to reduce barriers to healthcare innovation and implementation through collaboration among innovators, clinicians, researchers, educators and patients across the Geisinger system.

Several domains define Health System Sciences (American Medical Association, 2020):

1. Healthcare structure and process
2. Healthcare policy and economics
3. Clinical Informatics and health technology
4. Population, public and social determinants of health
5. Value in healthcare
6. Health system improvement
7. Leadership
8. Teaming
9. Change agency, management and advocacy
10. Ethics and legal
11. System thinking
