At CHESS, we are committed to turning research findings into solutions that benefit individuals, families, and communities. Our efforts ranges from improving quality of life for older adults to supporting behavioral health professionals working in addiction and mental health prevention, treatment, and recovery services.
CHESS uses technology to enhance the healthcare journey for patients and their families. Whether we’re offering support during treatment, facilitating communication with professionals, or providing tools for coping and resilience, our innovative approaches empower individuals in their health journeys.
Changing and improving systems is a central focus of our work. NIATx, the process improvement model we developed, helps organizations across the human services field improve their services.
CHESS also works to bring research to the real world. We’re at the forefront of the field of implementation science, helping to accelerate the adoption of innovations into regular use.
