Abstract

The Center for Health Management Research, then based at Arizona State University (since moved to the University of Washington), received its initial designation as an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center in July 1992. From the outset, this has been a multi-university center, drawing its academic resources from a consortium of 15 universities. The goals for the Center are to: 1) Develop a research agenda in collaboration with the corporate members; 2) Undertake research, development, and evaluation projects on behalf of the corporate members; 3) Disseminate to the members findings of health services research; 4) Identify and disseminate to the members successful innovations and management practices from other health care organizations; and 4) Identify and disseminate to the members relevant research findings, successful innovations, and management practices from other industries.
