Welcome to IHPS

The Institute for Health Policy Solutions (IHPS) is an independent, not-for-profit organization with a mission to develop transformative solutions to health system problems. Our expert staff design and analyze workable innovations with the overarching goal of achieving coverage by and for allSM Americans.

We work at the national, state and local levels to help extend coverage to uninsured workers and their families. We develop approaches that serve the public interest and are made more effective by identifying complementary public and private roles as well as pertinent market dynamics. One example is hybrid coverage and financing strategies like Health@WorkSM, which serves to leverage limited public funds and reach uninsured small firm workers. An important role is assisting interested organizations and sites that are positioned to pursue such promising strategies.

Our activities include: strategic planning; policy analysis and formulation; development of coverage innovations; technical assistance for program policy development; and applied research. We convene expert forums to generate collaborative analysis, and sponsor National Resource Centers or academies to develop expertise, share insights and foster mutual interest in a promising coverage approach.

To better achieve our goals, we often work with individuals and organizations whose roles and capabilities complement our own. IHPS is a freestanding 501(c)(3) institute that relies on outside support — grants and contracts — to fund our work.
