DONATE NOW ABOUT THE CALL TO LEAD CAMPAIGN
Thank you for supporting The Call to Lead campaign!
The campaign has enabled The Dartmouth Institute to accelerate the creation of high-performing systems of care in which patients’ values and goals guide care decisions, and to educate health care providers, business leaders, and policy makers to lead the change that’s needed.
Nearly 100,000 donors committed more than $3.77 billion to Dartmouth's Call to Lead Campaign.
By giving to TDI's research initiatives or the MPH scholarship fund, you can continue to help make health and healthcare better for everyone.
Often, they come from understanding how we are using are resources—where there is underuse of effective care, or overuse of ineffective care. Often, they come from improving communication between patients, their families, and health care providers, so that people are getting care that aligns with their priorities and goals. And, equally importantly, true progress comes from training a new generation of leaders and thinkers committed to asking tough questions and capable of leading transformational change.
Some of the areas we’re currently researching:
Documenting variation in Alzheimer’s Disease diagnosis; testing whether early diagnosis is, in fact, beneficial to patients
Investigating the causes and consequences of risky prescribing: studying adverse outcomes associated with individual drugs and drug combinations, such as opioids, benzodiazepines and sedatives hypnotics.
Understanding the barriers to advanced care planning for seriously ill older adults – both from a provider and patient perspective
Understanding how we can best help people with serious mental health illness better manage their physical health – and start to close the 30-year gap in life expectancy that separates them from the general population
