The HPI Governance Initiative convenes trustees, practitioners and thought leaders to identify best practices and provide executive education on today’s rapidly changing regulatory environment. HPI also houses the Comparative Effectiveness Research Center, the Center for Pharmaceutical Policy and Prescribing, and the Center for Interprofessional Practice, which is an Innovation Incubator in the National Coordinating Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education and designs and evaluates new models of healthcare delivery.|[16]|
