2. Behavioral health:we work with government agencies, community-based organizations, and other partners to identify sustainable ways to promote wellness and advance the quality of life for people and communities.our projects include program evaluation, intervention research, needs assessment, systems planning, and technical assistance. The methods we employ range from community-based participatory research to advanced data analysis, and we frequently use mixed methods approaches that integrate qualitative and quantitative data to inform our findings and recommendations.our values are front and center in all that we do: people with lived experience of receiving mental health and substance use services should drive change, as external partners (e.g. Advisors, advocates) and internal leaders (e.g. Service providers, executive leadership).

3. Population health:the population health team builds data systems to collect, analyze, and report health care data to improve the quality of health information available for research, policy, and practice. Our data helps health policy makers improve population health and health care delivery and aids consumers in choosing where they receive care. For 20 years, we've analyzed health claims data to generate high-quality insights into population health. Combining that experience with our expertise working with stakeholder groups to collaboratively develop and define quality measures and data metrics (including consumer outcome measures), we now help agencies develop non-proprietary data collection and reporting systems. With our deep understanding of models and systems across the health and human services sectors, we help leverage and enhance existing health claims and other datasets wherever possible.hsri works closely with a variety of federal, state and private entities to design, implement, and evaluate health data systems with the goal of providing high-quality data for both system management and research functions. Hsri prides itself on creating health data systems that are…

4. Child, youth and family:we provide program evaluation, consultation, training and technical assistance to child-serving agencies to promote best practices. We also support cross-agency approaches to address the whole needs of child welfare-involved families, including children and families with developmental disabilities and families living with mental health or substance use issues.when we focus on a project, we factor in more than just the system in which it sits. We consider how it links up with child welfare, health, education, juvenile justice, disability, housing, and more. Whether we're designing a program evaluation, consulting on title iv-e prevention plans, or developing resource navigation tools and apps, we always have cross-system services and data in mind. And because we understand the power of coordinated efforts, we work hard to employ collaborative and participatory research approaches in our work.our approach hinges on strong communication and collaboration, making sure our work is grounded in the reality of the current service environment as experienced by children and families. We also find value in sharing findings as a project progresses, so everyone involved…
