Innovation Lab™
Where ideas become action
Our Innovation Lab is the engine behind our efforts to test, scale, and share what works. We bring together members, partners, and experts to design forward-thinking care models, pilot new approaches, and support the broader member community in bringing those ideas to life.
From fresh clinical practices to new ways of delivering care in the home, we’re reimagining care—and equipping members with the tools to do the same.
Tools & resources that drive change
We have developed practical, population-specific tools for clinicians, caregivers, and patients. Our resources help members build and scale population health programs tailored to different serious illnesses.

The Power of Data & Analytics
At NPHI, we’re big believers in data—for good reason. It turns powerful stories into measurable results. It helps prove what our members have always known: that keeping people safe and comfortable at home improves quality of life and reduces unnecessary costs.
We believe in simple math: value = quality ÷ cost
When patients spend more days at home and fewer in the hospital, quality goes up and costs go down. We’re helping members collect and use data to prove this equation in real life—and we’re already seeing the results.
We host joint data bootcamps with our key data partners
We bring together dozens of NPHI member programs to build skills, tools, and a shared data culture. This is what real culture and practice change looks like in action.
And the impact is clear: our commitment to data and innovation is part of why NPHI leaders are invited to the table with key government decision-makers in Washington. We’re not just telling stories—we’re backing them with evidence.
Our Approach to Innovation:
Bold, Collaborative, Effective.
