Medical Technology and Practice Patterns Institute

Medical Technology and Practice Patterns Institute (MTPPI) is a U.S.-based independent nonprofit healthcare research institute focused on real-world evidence, health economics and outcomes research, causal inference, pragmatic clinical research support, and patient engagement. Founded in 1986, the organization works with healthcare systems, academic centers, patient groups, and industry sponsors to study the clinical and economic impact of medical technologies and treatment strategies. Its work is centered on observational data, EHR and claims analytics, policy-relevant research, and data-coordinating and analytics services rather than proprietary drug development. MTPPI has notable activity in nephrology, dialysis, vascular access, liver disease, and population health, and it also provides research infrastructure and analytics capabilities for externally sponsored studies. The institute positions itself as a partner helping healthcare organizations unlock value from data and improve patient outcomes.
