Health Policy and Regulatory Affairs

The Health Policy and Regulatory Affairs (HRPA) department monitors state and federal legislative and regulatory activity, engages UC experts to assess the impact of policy proposals and develops strategies to advance UCH’s policy priorities on issues spanning health professions, education and workforce, clinical care, research and health operations. HPRA provides expertise on issues with the greatest impact to UCH and works with the University’s government relations team to help ensure these insights are shared with elected officials, policy makers and external partners.

Systemwide Operations (Leveraging Scale for Value)

Within the UC Health Systemwide Operations team one of the main focuses has been the Leveraging Scale for Value (LSfV) program. The LSfV Program reduces cost and improves quality and revenue across UCH academic health centers. This Program has generated a cumulative impact of more than $2 billion since inception. Elsewhere across the Systemwide Operations team there is focus on increasing efficiencies and sharing of operational best practice across the Health enterprise.
