Research and Technology

As one of the world’s top medical centers, we embrace and create innovations.

Research and foresight is a critical dimension of advancing care. Our clinical curiosity, and everything it achieves, exists for the benefit of the patient. For those in our care, we push the boundaries of what’s possible and incorporate best-practice findings. Many of our recent clinical advancements, like diabetes-curing surgeries, result from intensive collaboration between scientific, commercial, academic and patient care constituencies. Our premier research program seeks to understand health problems, create new therapies and pinpoint prevention strategies.

What’s more, we bring the top level of technology into labs, pharmacies, ORs, ERs, ICUs, ambulances and more, which makes our workdays all the more exciting. Our technology brings people together, providing immediate access to patient data, radiology images and test reports. Streamlining communication and driving enhancements, our equipment inspires coordination in and between Information Technology and all disciplines. Superior technology saves lives, lowers costs, reduces errors and empowers people.
