About Us
CoDEx aims to serve as a national coordinating entity, engaging the diagnostic excellence community to promote novel findings, catalyze action, and advance the field.
This will include establishing three interrelated programs. These three programs will connect and expand the diagnostic community, support new and ongoing work to improve diagnosis, and driving advancements across the healthcare system.
- The Learning Hub will synthesize and disseminate major advancements in diagnostic excellence research and clinical practice.
- The Engagement Hub will convene and continue network building for the field among researchers, clinicians, fellows, grantees, and others.
- The Action Incubator will develop several “action roundtables” to advance progress toward diagnostic excellence and drive measurable outcome improvements for patients.
For each program, we will collaborate with individuals and organizations working in diagnostic excellence, both within and beyond UCSF. Click below to learn more about CoDEx and our programs.
Launched in January 2024, CoDEx was supported by a grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and will build directly on the foundation’s investments to establish the diagnostic excellence field. Learn more about the center's establishment here.
