In recognition of the many strengths of Harvard Medical School and its affiliated hospitals (Brigham and Women's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and Massachusetts General Hospital), the U.S. Public Health Service's Office of Women's Health of the Department of Health and Human Services awarded a contract to the Harvard Medical School to create a national Center of Excellence in Women's Health in the Fall of 1998.
The National Centers of Excellence in Women's Health were established by the U.S. Public Health Service's Office on Women's Health in 1996. The Centers are based in academic medical institutions to establish and evaluate a new model health care system that unites women's health research, medical training, clinical care, public health education, community outreach, and the promotion of women in health professions around a common mission to improve the heath status of diverse women across the life span.
The Harvard Medical School's Center of Excellence (CoE) structure reflects the fundamental themes of the CoE mission. The CoE consists of six key programmatic areas: Clinical Services, Research, Health Care Provider Education, Outreach and Consumer Education, Academic Leadership, and Evaluation.
The Harvard Medical School's CoE in Women's Health will provide the support to:
1. Develop best practice models for health care for all women.
2. Broaden the use of outcome measures and patient surveys to evaluate clinical services and patient satisfaction.
3. Expand the use of community-based primary and preventive health care services.
4. Encourage more research into women's health, particularly issues related to minority women's health, through expanded collaboration across institutions.
5. Create better programs and culturally-sensitive materials in women's health to educate the public.
6. Strengthen the role of minority women in our institutions.
7. Develop mechanisms to ensure the career advancement of women in our institutions.
8. Develop better curricula in women's health for both medical students and house staff, emphasizing the use of new information technologies.
