Who We Serve
Government Entities
Independent healthcare expertise to advance safety, quality, and public health.
Evidence-based support for complex public-sector healthcare challenges
Government agencies are responsible for healthcare decisions and initiatives that affect entire organizations, communities, and populations. Meeting that responsibility requires trustworthy evidence, specialized expertise, and practical support that can turn policy and program goals into measurable action.
Different missions. Shared responsibility. One independent partner.

Our independent experts help agencies evaluate evidence, identify risks, develop effective programs, and implement sustainable improvements that protect patients, healthcare workers, and communities.

One partner from policy through implementation
Evidence alone does not create change. ECRI combines rigorous research with real-world experience in healthcare delivery, patient safety, technology, education, and implementation.
