From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The US Cooperative for International Patient Programs (USCIPP) is an organizational membership program of the National Center for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL), a Chicago, Illinois, United States-based nonprofit. USCIPP is composed of US academic medical centers, hospitals, and healthcare systems that operate in the international patient care and global healthcare collaborations market.[1]

Founded in 2010, with support from the International Trade Administration's Market Development Cooperator Program, the consortium now represents nearly 60 US healthcare provider organizations.[2][3] USCIPP's members work together to increase the global competitiveness of US hospitals in several ways:

  • expand international access to US medical expertise
  • conduct research and market analysis on international trade in healthcare services
  • facilitate the inter-organizational sharing of best practices in caring for international patients as well as in executing collaborative healthcare projects outside of the US.

While all of USCIPP's member institutions share a focus on providing care to international patients who travel to the US for treatment, the majority of its members also engage in non-patient international collaborations, such as cross-border education programs, providing management services to organizations in other countries, offering consulting services to hospitals and governments abroad, and/or engaging in international, joint clinical research.[4]
