The research enterprise at Geisinger is dedicated to improving the care of our patients and facilitating the education of young physicians and other health professionals. This is as true of our laboratory research efforts as it is of our health services research and clinical trials.

Geisinger's unique strengths lie in the application of technology (especially Health Information Technology), and redesigned systems of care to facilitate the delivery of higher quality, lower cost health care. Our significant efforts in genomics (personalized medicine) and health services research are also dedicated to the end of being able to rapidly determine the most effective, efficient care for an individual and to apply this knowledge in our daily practice.

At Geisinger, we attempt to engage our physicians and each of our patients in this quest to use the latest knowledge of medical science, and management science to deliver effective care in the most efficient manner possible. Research lies at the heart of this quest.
