In FY2026, UT-HIP continued to unite people, processes, and technology together across the UT System—expanding shared services and strengthening the foundation for collaboration, research, and care improvement.
Opening Doors to Increased Engagement
That progress began with learning. With the launch of the UT System’s first Data and AI Ecosystem, a new online educational library expanded access to knowledge into UT-HIP resources, exceeding reach and training targets. A redesigned website, SharePoint, and systemwide newsletters helped colleagues stay informed and connected.
Turning Connection into Collaboration
Those connections created pathways for shared work. Launched earlier this year, The HIP Project Request tool provides a systematic and governed framework to help health related institution teams to submit data and AI projects. The FY2026 highlights capture that momentum.
A Growing Network, A Stronger Foundation
Across the 12 UT-HIP collaboratives, we had a systemwide and statewide reach. All 8 health related institutions participated as well as 3 state-level entities, Texas A&M, TRS, and ERS. The collaborations boast 113 participants contributing to the fields of healthcare, research, health plan benefits, business, and information technology. The Texas Pharmaceutical Initiative Clinical Workgroups worked with 45 clinicians statewide. The collaboratives summary highlights our key accomplishments.
Carrying the Momentum into FY27
With this foundation in place, UT-HIP will focus FY27 on sharing the vision. The collaboratives and platform are live! The opportunity is to scale our reach by enabling data, AI, and innovation, and create a statewide impact across quality, research, education, and collaboration across Texas.
Thank you to our partners and collaborators for making this progress possible. Together, we carry that momentum into FY27.
