The mission of IHPS is to bridge the gap between academia, the business community, and the healthcare policy world by bringing academic resources into policy debates and day-to-day business decisions, and bringing health and productivity management issues into academia.
IHPS, a collaborative established between the Rollins School of Public Health’s Department of Health Policy and Management at Emory University and the Healthcare business of Thomson Reuters, conducts empirical research on the relationship between employee health and well-being, and work-related productivity. Studies performed by the IHPS help inform decision makers in both the private and public health sectors on issues related to the health and productivity cost burden of certain health risk factors and common disease conditions, and the impact that innovative health, safety and productivity management programs have on medical, safety and productivity-related outcomes. Located in Washington, DC, IHPS brings together the faculty in the Department of Health Policy and Management and staff at the Healthcare business of Thomson Reuters for various collaborative research opportunities. IHPS works with Thomson Reuters staff in Washington, DC, Santa Barbara, CA, Cambridge, MA, and Ann Arbor, MI (the location of Thomson Reuters Healthcare corporate headquarters).
The Thomson Reuters Research Division specializes in health economics, health policy, and health services research; healthcare database development; and quality of care review. In both public and private sectors, Thomson Reuters has developed a reputation for rigorous data development and analytical work that meets the highest professional standards. The Healthcare division of Thomson Reuters employs over 2,000 individuals and the Research Division is home to over 160 experts in health services research, economics, applied social sciences, planning, administration, epidemiology, clinical medicine, operations research, statistics, survey design, medical records review, computer science, and computer-based information systems.
Thomson Reuters has a long history of conducting applied research on the clinical, economic, and psychological effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving health. These assessments have focused on programmatic interventions in a wide variety of settings applying a broad spectrum of research methodologies and data analytic methods to evaluate the appropriateness and cost effectiveness of programs.
