Rutgers Center for State Health Policy Details
Rutgers Center for State Health Policy (CSHP) provides impartial policy analysis, research, training, facilitation, and consultation on important state health policy issues.CSHP is an initiative within the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research, which is part of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. The Center was conceived in response to the unique and essential role of the states in the formation and implementation of sound health policy in the American system of federalism. The passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010 has further elevated the importance of informed decision making by states. Established in 1999 with major funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Center combines Rutgers University's traditional academic strengths in public health, health services research, and social science with applied research and policy analysis initiatives. The Center's signature areas of research include Access and Coverage, Health and Long-Term Care Workforce, Health System Performance Improvement, Long-Term Services and Supports, and Population Health.
