The Center for Health Systems Research and Analysis (CHSRA) was formed
in 1973 as a collaborative effort between the departments of Industrial
Engineering and Preventive
Medicine at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison. At CHSRA, researchers seek to improve long-term
care and health systems by creating performance measures and developing
information and decision support systems. CHSRA research and development
projects serve a variety of audiences, including:
- Long-term care and health care providers
- Consumers
- Policy makers
- Resident and patient advocates
- Regulatory agencies
This website provides information about current and past projects. Links

The
Electronic Provider Initiative Project (ePIP) enables long term
care facilities to submit Minimum Data Set (MDS) data, run Quality
Indicator/Quality Measure (QI/QM) reports, and access quality information via a secure
internet website. PIP members can logon to ePIP here.

The Crash Outcome Data Evaluation System (CODES) is a collaborative
