Evidence Academy
a working group at Texas Children’s that synthesizes findings from Cochrane Systematic Reviews and develops new evidence-based guidelines, helping researchers identify critical research gaps and aiding study design.
Improving Clinical Outcomes
Collaborating with the hospital’s Safety & Outcomes program and using rigorous outcomes data, we continually identify and replace low-value interventions, redirecting resources to high-impact care. This dual focus—implementing the best and jettisoning the rest—optimizes our healthcare ecosystem.
We also connect our ten clinical Centers of Excellence—spanning Heart, Cancer, Neuroscience, and more—with timely updates on research breakthroughs and clinical advances. Through digital platforms, provider workshops, and more, we provide care team members with the latest tools and insights, linking to global partners like Baylor College of Medicine for broader impact. In this way, we amplify discoveries, ensuring they translate into better outcomes from bedside to community.
