Altarum Institute

Altarum Institute develops and implements solutions to improve the health of individuals with fewer financial resources and those disenfranchised by the system. Three of Altarum's 2022 major programs include:- mdhhs data hub: provides innovative public health it infrastructure and technical assistance to the Michigan department of health and human services (mdhhs) that improves the flow of data from health care providers into state public health systems and between state and federal government public health systems. Altarum's services increase state capacity to perform acute, chronic, infectious and syndromic disease surveillance, enabling the state to track changes in population health and detect and respond quickly to outbreaks of illness, potential public health threats, and emergencies like covid-19.- health care surveys of department of defense beneficiaries (hcsdb): Altarum oversees the collection and analysis of data for hcsdb and the tricare select surveys of providers and beneficiaries. Working on behalf of hcsdb we collect critical information from military service members to help assess and improve their care. We bring thoughtful analytics to bear to provide military health sesrvice (mhs) leaders with the information they need to ensure that service members receive the care they need and deserve.- healthy hearts for Michigan (hh4m): Altarum provides support to improve the heart health and help reduce cvd disparities by engaging with primary care practices. We work with providers to assess current workflows, establish screening and treatment protocols, and collect quarterly study data.
