IDA’s health research team is a diverse and interdisciplinary group of researchers who seek to answer the government’s most challenging questions through innovative problem solving, rigorous analysis, and deep institutional expertise. Our work spans the continuum of health care ranging from health system reform, health insurance re-design, process improvement and quality management, and health care information technology. IDA’s independence empowers objective, data-driven analysis of the highest quality performed in a research environment free of commercial interest. Because of our unique relationship with our U.S. Government sponsors, IDA enjoys unusual access to classified government information and sensitive proprietary information.
