Our focus is on the implementation of evidence directly into practice and broad dissemination of research findings. Working directly with AMGA member organizations, we help leverage data to drive clinical decision-making, enhance patient-centered care, transform care processes and systems, and improve population health. Through a partnership with Optum, AMGA has access to an unparalleled clinical database comprising longitudinal EHR and claims data for more than 25 million patients across over 20 member health care organizations.
