How We Work

The Institute approaches each project by focusing on our core tenets: collaboration and achieving consensus among participants and stakeholders. In addition, we follow a well-established set of best practices designed to keep projects on time and within scope.

Among the best practices we employ is our Collaborative Requirements Development Methodology, which gives project participants tools and a process for documenting public health workflows and defining functional requirements for information systems that support those workflows.
