Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice is a research and educational center affiliated with Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. The Institute undertakes health services research, policy analysis, and clinical improvement work intersecting with institutions such as Dartmouth–Hitchcock Medical Center, Geisel School of Medicine, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and National Institutes of Health. Its activities connect to national conversations involving The Commonwealth Fund, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Medicine, and The Brookings Institution.
The Institute was established amidst reforms influenced by reports from Institute of Medicine panels, debates involving Harry S. Truman-era policy legacies, and evolving scholarship at Dartmouth College and Geisel School of Medicine during the late 20th century, drawing attention from funders such as Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, The Commonwealth Fund, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and The Ford Foundation. Early leadership engaged with scholars linked to Harvard University, Yale University, Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Mayo Clinic to build programs paralleling efforts at RAND Corporation and Kaiser Permanente. Over successive decades the Institute expanded through collaborations with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, United States Department of Health and Human Services, and state agencies in New Hampshire and Vermont.
The Institute's mission emphasizes improving health value and patient outcomes through comparative effectiveness work, cost analyses, and implementation science informed by partners like Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, National Institutes of Health, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Research domains include health care delivery systems studied alongside Dartmouth–Hitchcock Medical Center, population health analyses akin to projects at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and value measurement interoperable with frameworks from World Health Organization and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Projects frequently incorporate methodologies from teams associated with Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Stanford University School of Medicine, Columbia University Medical Center, and University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine.
Academic offerings interface with degree programs at Geisel School of Medicine, graduate initiatives at Dartmouth College, and professional development modeled on curricula from Harvard Medical School, Yale School of Medicine, and University of California, San Francisco. Trainees include fellows funded through grants from National Institutes of Health, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Fulbright Program, and Commonwealth Fund, and participate in seminars featuring faculty from Harvard Kennedy School, Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Columbia University. Certificates and workshops address comparative effectiveness, quality improvement, and health policy comparable to programs at Johns Hopkins University, Stanford Medicine X, and Kaiser Permanente Institute for Health Policy.
The Institute houses centers and initiatives that coordinate with national efforts like Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute studies, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services demonstrations, and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality programs; collaborators have included Vermont Department of Health, New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, Maine Medical Center, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. Specific initiatives mirror large-scale projects undertaken at RAND Corporation, The Brookings Institution, Commonwealth Fund, and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to analyze variation in care across regions similar to analyses performed in partnership with Dartmouth–Hitchcock Medical Center and regional hospital systems such as Massachusetts General Hospital and Mayo Clinic Health System.
Faculty and leaders have engaged with peers and trainees from Harvard University, Yale University, Johns Hopkins University, University of California, San Francisco, Stanford University, Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, Brown University, and Cornell University. Directors and senior investigators have served on advisory panels for National Institutes of Health, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, State of New Hampshire, State of Vermont, and national foundations such as Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Commonwealth Fund. Visiting scholars have included fellows from Fulbright Program, awardees of MacArthur Fellows Program-related networks, and recipients of honors from National Academy of Medicine.
Funding streams combine federal awards from National Institutes of Health, programmatic contracts with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, research grants from Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and philanthropic support from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, The Commonwealth Fund, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Laura and John Arnold Foundation. Partnerships span academic collaborators at Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth College, healthcare systems including Dartmouth–Hitchcock Medical Center, policy organizations like The Brookings Institution and Commonwealth Fund, and state partners such as New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services and Vermont Agency of Human Services.
Work from the Institute has influenced policy debates within Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, contributed to reports by the National Academy of Medicine, informed research syntheses at Cochrane Collaboration, and been cited in analyses by The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, Health Affairs, The Lancet, and policy commentary in The Washington Post and The New York Times. Awards and recognition include grant competitions with National Institutes of Health, fellowships supported by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and citations from panels convened by Institute of Medicine and National Academy of Medicine.
