Access Fast, Practical Commercialization
We help partners commercialize ideas, by evaluating what works and why, ensuring the most promising innovations to benefit all patients.
The Innovation Institute operates as a living lab: Every day, care is delivered across our diverse system—creating variation, generating data, and unlocking opportunities to improve outcomes. We harness this real-world evidence to transform care quickly and effectively.
Experience the Evidence Engine
Using evidence-based research to transform innovations into precision care for all.
Unique to Providence, this end-to-end model guides innovation from design through implementation. Using defined proof pathways, we integrate, test, and validate ideas in real care settings and scale what works across our 51-hospital system. With 29M patient visits across 7 states, we deliver fast, actionable insights that guide smarter care.
