CPCE is a research center within the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Research Institute which is dedicated to discovering and sharing knowledge about best practices in pediatric care. Clinical effectiveness research seeks to answer the question “What works?” in healthcare. Learn more about CPCE at https://cpce.research.chop.edu/.

In 2020, with the support of the CHOP Research Institute leadership, CPCE engaged external consultants to conduct a robust strategic plan to examine ways the Center can strengthen, connect, and increase its impact on pediatric clinical effectiveness, child health, and CHOP’s care delivery model. Enhanced communication and dissemination were identified as crucial for the translation of clinical research into practice, as well as achieving greater internal and external visibility of CPCE.
