One way CHOT measures success in translating new knowledge generated from research into practice is by tracking CHOT research impact in numbers. CHOT research impacts are quantified in terms of reductions in waste, cost of care, efficiencies, quality of care, clinical outcomes, and patient satisfaction. CHOT research projects have contributed significantly to overall ROI (financial, clinical, operational, and social) for CHOT industry members as captured by the figures below.
