Abstract: The Innovations Exchange will provide a national-level information hub to foster the implementation and adaptation of innovative strategies that improve health care quality and minimize disparities in the care received by different populations. It is intended to address stakeholder interest in a "one-stop shop" that presents digested and reliable information about health care delivery innovations along with their accompanying implementation tools and networking opportunities to share implementation strategies and techniques. Its target audiences, broadly defined, will be current and potential change agents in the U.S. health care system, including clinicians (e.g., physicians, nurses, and other providers), health system administrators, health plan managers, health service purchasers, regulators, and policymakers from relevant Federal and state agencies.
