The Core for Precision Resource Utilization harnesses cutting-edge data science methodologies and interdisciplinary collaboration to drive transformative advancements in health care delivery
Overview
The Core for Precision Resource Utilization (CPRU) specializes in applying cutting-edge big data methodologies to extract insights from diverse data sources. Using advanced analytics, machine learning algorithms, and other artificial intelligence methods, we develop strategic solutions and precise predictive models to optimize operational efficiency and improve patient outcomes.
CPRU collaborates with data scientists, clinicians, and executive leadership at Penn Medicine to customize solutions for pressing health care challenges. We strive for accuracy and effectiveness, integrating rigorous real-world testing and validation into our processes. Our objective is to deliver data-driven products seamlessly integrated into operational workflows, thereby informing clinical decision-making and enhancing patient care delivery. We continuously monitor and refine solutions to ensure ongoing relevance and effectiveness within the evolving health care landscape.
CPRU is working toward a health care future transformed through seamless integration of human insight and artificial intelligence, pushing the boundaries of medicine forward.
Our mission at CPRU is to harness cutting-edge data science methodologies and interdisciplinary collaboration to drive transformative advancements in health care delivery. Through operations research and strategic partnerships, we create innovative solutions to optimize the organization and delivery of health care.
- Harmonizing the best of Penn Medicine and the Perelman School of Medicine to inform health care delivery using real-world experiences

Key Project Domains
Patient engagement and access
We use data analytics to enhance patient engagement and improve access to health care services. Our data-driven strategies support patient empowerment and make it easier to navigate care in a complex health care system.
Resource utilization
We employ predictive modeling and optimization techniques to improve the allocation of health care resources. By analyzing resource usage patterns, we identify opportunities to reduce costs and enhance quality in care delivery.
Workforce experience
CPRU supports health care professionals by optimizing workflows using insights we glean from data. We aim to make care delivery simpler and easier and, in doing so, enhance the well-being of care teams and ultimately improve care outcomes.
Targeted Approach
Discover
We continuously learn from diverse data sources, uncovering insights to build adaptive predictive models and innovative solutions that evolve to improve patient outcomes.
Develop
Collaborating with clinician-scientists and health care experts, we co-develop solutions that address specialized challenges in health care. Our approach ensures these solutions are rigorously validated and grounded in real-world evidence.
