The PATH Institute Corporation is unique in its approach to understanding and influencing health care consumer behavior. Our focus is on measuring everyday health priorities. The reason is simple: our priorities shape our choices, and our choices reveal the priorities that are reflected in our behavior.

Mission Statement

The mission of the PATH Institute Corporation is to reveal the existence of unseen patterns of health priorities, to show their effect on health, health outcomes, and to deliver tools and educational programs to health professionals and consumers allowing them to recognize and properly deal with the effects of these unseen psycho-social forces. Industry wide acknowledgement of the hidden dynamic revealed by the PATH model will advance the understanding of patient and health consumer psychology and illuminate the deeper realms shaping individual personal experience. This will result in a more satisfying experience for both the deliverer and the end user of healthcare. We invite you to be part of the vision!

Evidence-Based

We have demonstrated that unseen patterns of health priorities shape health outcomes and drive health care costs. Nearly twenty years of research conducted throughout the U.S. with payors and providers a like has linked these unseen patterns to health risk, disease prevalence, medical care utilization, and personal factors like wellness engagement, attention to health, compliance and adherence, and response to health communications.

Evidence Based Interventions

The training programs and interventions we've designed take advantage of these insights to improve outcomes. Existing program improvements in both efficiency or effectiveness from PATH model enhancements have returned ROIs of 10:1 or better. Research has demonstrated that clinicians trained in PATH model insights get better patient engagement resulting in significant additional per patient cost impacts.
