Section of Digitally Enabled Care

SoDEC is a collaborative endeavor between the Department of Population Health and the MCIT Department of Health Informatics, and it represents a formalization and expansion of the longstanding collaboration between the Healthcare Innovation Bridging Research, Informatics, and Design (HiBRID) Lab and the MCIT Department of Health Informatics.

The Section of DEC has the unique opportunity to leverage its research, operational expertise and influence on partner with MCIT to ideate, develop, and test digital solutions across NYULH Departments before scaling its solutions nationally. By applying these digital solutions across the health system, the Section can spearhead digital innovations that improve patient and clinician experience while constructing generalizable insights and best practices. These learnings will be disseminated to the wider healthcare industry and academic community, positioning the department and institution as a thought leader in the rapidly evolving digital health space.

Our mission is to study how digital tools can be used to enhance patient and provider experience, aligning with NYULH’s overarching mission “To Care, To Discover, To Teach.” By focusing on experience, our efforts will facilitate the seamless and equitable adoption of digital tools by both patients and providers to ultimately drive improvements in clinical outcomes and streamline healthcare operations.
