A Pan-Canadian Vision and Strategy for Health Services and Policy Research

2013-05-30

IHSPR believes that the challenges facing our health care system are best addressed through a common vision and collaborative approach. To facilitate this, over the coming months IHSPR will be working with its partners and the health services and policy community to develop a pan-Canadian Vision and Strategy for Health Services and Policy Research.

This vision and strategy will be informed by a number of key components, including a map of Canada’s existing assets and resources in health services and policy research; key informant interviews to identify perceived strengths, gaps, opportunities and priorities; and a survey of the health services and policy research community. IHSPR is pleased to be working with Dr. Terrance Sullivan and regional leads on these components of the project. This will inform a Priorities Forum in 2014 involving partners and stakeholders to develop a Pan-Canadian Vision and Strategy for Health Services and Policy Research.

This is an exciting time for our community and we invite and encourage you to participate in this initiative. To be a part of the vision and provide input please do not hesitate to contact Meghan McMahon at info.ihspr@mcgill.ca. Stay tuned for more information and details about participating in the survey!
