At the Center for Health System Sustainability (CHeSS), we help countries learn from one another to optimize patient care and build resilient and sustainable health systems. We do so by leveraging patient-level data and global partnerships to produce comparative data insights and actionable policy recommendations.

CHeSS: A new center at Brown to study health care systems across countries
A discussion comparing health policy challenges facing the U.S. to those faced by other high-income countries illustrated how the Center for Health System Sustainability aims to improve health care systems through research.
This premiere event marks the launch of the new Center for Health System Sustainability (CHeSS) at the Brown School of Public Health. The panel discussion will offer a unique “local to global” perspective, beginning with the pressing health policy challenges facing Rhode Island and other US states. Our distinguished panel will be moderated by SPH Dean Ashish K. Jha and include senior officials from the World Health Organization (WHO), European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and collaborators and faculty of the Center for Health System Sustainability.
Brown’s new Center for Health System Sustainability (CHeSS), led by Professor Irene Papanicolas, aims to standardize data from across global health systems, then compare them in order to inform policy choices and improve health care value and patient care.
Multisite observational research reusing sensitive data requires a federated approach. Building on the lessons learned in several international research projects, we will discuss key issues in the deployment of federated research including how to achieve the data-visiting principle, the orchestration of the nodes in a federation, and the need for semantic and technical interoperability. Some tools for the deployment of federated research projects will be proposed.
Harmonizing International Health Data for Better Outcomes
Professor Irene Papanicolas joins Megan Hall on the Humans in Public Health podcast to discussed her work: she aims to standardize data from across global health systems and compare them in order to inform policy choices and improve health care value and patient care.
