Mission

The Penn Medicine Center for Health Care Innovation (CHCI) facilitates the rapid, disciplined development, testing, and implementation of new strategies to reimagine health care delivery for dramatically better patient outcomes, value, and experience.  

The Acceleration Lab supports CHCI's commitment to be a center for - not of - innovation. Through flagship programs, coordinated training and mentorship, and strategic partnerships, the Acceleration Lab energizes and empowers individuals on the frontlines to apply a disciplined, scientific approach to creating, evaluating, and implementing high impact solutions.

Success at the Acceleration Lab is not defined just by the discovery of a novel approach, but rather by the implementation and scale of new care models, devices, and technology that meaningfully improve health and health care for patients and clinicians at and beyond Penn Medicine.
