Unreferenced content
editI just removed a lot of content from this article which is unreferenced. Some of it may be salvageable. I userfied it to the creator's userpage here. The creator, USER talk:IHME, has a conflict of interest with this article and should change username. I live in Seattle - contact me personally if anyone wants to talk about this article.

Requesting COI editing help
editHi, I'm an editor with a COI. I've been asked to update the page for the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and I intend to follow the COI guidelines. I've written a draft article, based on the original IHME article here, and pasted it below. I'd welcome feedback, as well as help from other editors to get an updated article posted. Thanks!

- I have moved the draft of yours to Draft:Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 17:25, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for all your help on this, EoRdE6 I see there was still one missing ref in the section on degree programs. I added a link to the University of Washington's website for IHME with details on the degree programs. Will that work? If so, can the flag be removed? Savannah38 (talk) 18:37, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- Yep, I've removed the tag. Good job on the article! EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 14:01, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
Flagged as brochure
editIHME's goal, as stated on the Institute's website, is "to identify the best strategies to build a healthier world. By measuring health, tracking program performance, finding ways to maximize health system impact, and developing innovative measurement systems, IHME provides a foundation for informed decision-making that ultimately will lead to better health globally" IHME (2011).
IHME conducts research and trains scientists, policymakers, and the public in health metrics concepts, methods, and tools.
Its mission includes judging the effectiveness and efficacy of health initiatives and national health systems.
IHME's work seeks to be complementary to the United Nations' work in the World Health Organization in that it shares many tasks but is independent from member countries.
IHME gathers health-related data from all available sources.
It develops innovative analytical tools to track trends in mortality, diseases, and risk factors, and capsulizes many of its research findings in data visualizations.
It evaluates interventions such as vaccines, malaria control policies, cancer screenings, and birth care.
To enable researchers to replicate IHME's work and to foster new research, IHME created the Global Health Data Exchange (GHDx) where methods and results are cataloged and freely accessible.
IHME is also committed to expanding the field of health metrics by training students at the post-baccalaureate and post-graduate levels.
That is way too first person all around.
Suggested tone:
IHME provides training in the field of health metrics at the post-baccalaureate and post-graduate levels.
But this needs a lot of work. — MaxEnt 23:36, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
