Celebrating 40 years of independent research
The Medical Technology and Practice Patterns Institute (MTPPI) was initiated at the Institute for Health Policy Analysis at the Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, DC. In July 1986, MTPPI was established as an independent nonprofit entity separate from Georgetown to allow for broad collaboration with the healthcare industry and stakeholders. The mission of the Institute is to conduct research on the clinical and economic implications of innovative healthcare technologies. MTPPI’s research is directed toward the formulation and implementation of local and national healthcare policies.
With extensive investigator experience in both the public and private sectors, MTPPI’s staff designs, implements, and conducts a full range of healthcare research and technology development activities. Our staff includes statisticians, epidemiologists, economists, programmers, biomedical engineers, and policy analysts. We specialize in using big data to conduct real-time, real-world studies that are both affordable and useful for healthcare stakeholders.
