US Cooperative for International Patients Program

The US Cooperative for International Patient Programs (USCIPP) is a membership-based consortium of U.S. academic medical centers, health systems, and specialty hospitals that operate international patient programs. As a program of the National Center for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL), USCIPP facilitates inter-organizational collaboration, benchmarking, and the sharing of best practices to improve the delivery of care to international patients. The organization provides its members with market research, business intelligence, and educational resources to enhance their global competitiveness and international business development strategies. USCIPP also works with government agencies and international partners to expand global access to high-quality U.S. healthcare expertise. Key initiatives include an annual benchmarking survey that tracks international patient volumes and financial metrics, as well as legal due diligence for cross-border telemedicine services.
