The Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform established partnerships to enhance its ability to implement change on different levels and to bring academic expertise to bear on practical solutions to the nation's health care challenges. Following are some of the projects the Engelberg Center is involved with currently.

High-Value Health Care Through Better Information and Quality Improvement
With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Center will enhance the activities of the Quality Alliance Steering Committee.

Partnership in Health Policy Research
This is a long-term collaboration between Brookings and the Dartmouth Center for Healthcare Policy Research and Reform, headed by Dr. Elliott Fisher, MD, MPH. Through the center's Dartmouth Atlas Project (DAP), which uses comprehensive research about how medical resources are distributed and used in the United States, Drs. McClellan and Fisher and colleagues will use their findings to help implement policies that reduce the cost and raise the quality of medical care.

Safer, More Effective Medical Treatments
The Center will collaborate with academic, public, and private partners to create an "active surveillance" system for drug safety in the United States, and to improve the evidence on the benefits and risks of treatments in particular types of patients, to support better, more personalized care.
