The mission of the Outcomes and Measurement Science Hub within the Department of Medical Social Sciences (MSS) is to improve human health through better measurement and innovative implementation.

We are a large group of more than 25 primary and about a dozen secondary faculty members supported by over 50 software developers, project managers, systems implementation professionals and other staff members. Collectively, we believe that good measurement is the foundation of good science and healthcare. Our best and most important scientific questions can only be answered with good measurement. Our faculty include qualitative methodologists who identify what matters most to people affected by illness or disability, quantitative experts who know how to compose and validate measures, clinicians who apply these measures in practice to improve health and healthcare delivery and health informaticians who develop technologies for clinical and research implementation.
