Project Highlight

Altarum and M-CEITA - Facilitating Adoption of Health Information Technology

Altarum Institute has been chosen by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to serve as the lead agent in establishing Michigan’s health information technology regional extension center, the Michigan Center for Effective IT Adoption (M-CEITA). 

What is Health Systems Research: Goals and Objectives


As systems researchers, Altarum Institute begins with the understanding that there is no single health care “system.” Health and health care depend on a complex fabric of systems that are constantly interacting and shaping human health. Our Systems Change Model helps us see the broader environment in which these systems operate and in which problems arise. This methodology identifies critical system interactions and focuses on the root causes that can lead a system to fail. Through our systems research and the Systems Change Model, we help you visualize the whole picture – ensuring a more comprehensive and sustainable solution to your problem.

Read about our health systems research methodology, the Altarum Systems Change Model.
