Delfini Group is a public service entrepreneurship founded to help solve the little known societal problem of medical misinformation which frequently results from lack of awareness and skills in the conduct and reporting of research and in evaluating scientific information. Delfini is dedicated to helping individuals and organizations learn and apply the concepts, methods, processes, skills and tools of evidence- and value-based clinical improvement to make practice change and achieve improved medical decision-making, outcomes and value.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to improve health care quality and use of resources by assisting medical leaders, health care professionals and others interested in and affected by health care decisions by —

      • Bringing science into medical practice in an easy-to-understand way.
      • Using simplified methods to help navigate the complexities of such areas as evidence-based medicine, clinical improvement and other topics.
      • Building competencies and confidence in improving medical care through our consultations, training programs and tools.
      • Providing inspiration to others to improve medical care and help bring about needed change

Our program model for all we do —

      • Raise consciousness
      • Explain critical concepts
