Throughout this three year time frame, HPIO will inform health policy development through four strategic objectives:

  • Achieving and Maintaining Health and Wellness for all Ohioans
  • Ensuring Access to Care for all Ohioans
  • Developing Tools for Improved Ohio Health System Data Transparency
  • Aligning Public and Private Payments with Better Health Quality Outcomes for all Ohioans

HPIO will inform policy development in these four strategic objectives through three tactics:

Background

The Health Policy Institute of Ohio is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that serves as Ohio’s nonpartisan, independent source for forecasting health trends, analyzing key health issues, and communicating current research to policymakers, state agencies and other decision-makers.

Since its founding in 2003, HPIO has become the state’s trusted source of information and leadership on health policy issues. In the past, Ohio decision makers often had to rely on data and analysis provided by interest groups with particular perspectives and agendas. HPIO’s mission is to provide nonpartisan, unbiased research, analysis and communication that enables policymakers to make the most informed decisions possible on matters that affect the health of all Ohioans.

Mission

To serve as a catalyst for health policy leadership and transformation that advances the health of Ohioans through non-partisan research, analysis, education and dialogue

Vision

Advancing the health of all Ohioans through informed policy decisions

Values

Collaboration & Diversity:
We foster collaboration among diverse stakeholders with different perspectives about possible solutions so that all can find common ground. We harness the power of partnerships to improve health for all Ohioans.
Objectivity:
We provide information that is non-partisan, data-driven, and evidence-based.
Integrity:
We serve as a trusted, independent, and knowledgeable voice in a health system represented by diverse and competing interests. HPIO is the source for honest, unbiased, non-partisan analysis; analysis based on facts; and straightforward explanations of the most important health policy issues.
Relevance:
We focus our work on the major health policy issues facing Ohio and emerging opportunities for change. We are flexible so that we evolve with the changing needs of Ohioans.

Innovation:

We explore possibilities that can lead to improved health. We encourage thoughtful and stimulating dialogue focused on potential solutions rather than debate.
