Public Healthcare systems Evidence Network and iNnovation eXchange

The Public Healthcare system Evidence and Innovation eXchange (PHoENIX) is a sustainable network that supports care delivery transformation in California’s public hospital systems by developing the organizational capacity of people, systems, and technology to implement and disseminate evidence-based practices. Because evidence-based interventions that are implemented in more well-resourced health care settings often do not translate well to safety-net settings, PHoENIX focuses on innovation and dissemination in California’s public safety net to address persistent health disparities. PHoENIX has created an infrastructure to disseminate several innovative, evidence-based practices across California’s safety net healthcare system, demonstrating that safety-net organizations can become nimble and flexible learning organizations that rapidly take up, adapt, and implement evidence-based interventions to maximize population health.
