Prosser wins IHPI's 2017 Impact Accelerator Award
Sound public health policymaking depends on a solid evidence base to frame choices and alternatives around critical decisions that can potentially affect millions of people. But when the available evidence is scarce, and the outcomes of various scenarios appear murky, how can decision-makers fairly evaluate policy options and their consequences? Over the last two decades, Lisa Prosser, Ph.D., M.S., and her team have conducted decision analyses and economic evaluations designed to bring clarity and transparency to a range of national health policy decisions. For this body of ongoing work, which has had direct impact on the decisions shaping the health and healthcare of millions of Americans, IHPI awarded Prosser its 2017 Impact Accelerator Award at its annual Member Forum on January 24.

The Impact Accelerator Award is given annually to an IHPI faculty member, regardless of career stage, who has demonstrated a commitment to making a policy or practice impact with their work.
