It provides study design, data and implementation support to investigators and to partner delivery systems, and turns findings into practical, evidence-based tools clinics can adopt. HIP distributes those tools free through HIPxChange, its toolkit platform, on topics such as depression screening, smoking cessation and dementia care. Its partners include UW Health, Marshfield Clinic and the Wisconsin Collaborative for Healthcare Quality, and it also supports career development for faculty, staff and students.
