Chronic Disease
Investigating ways to prevent and manage chronic illnesses.
Health Equity
Addressing disparities to ensure Canadians have a fair opportunity to be healthy.
Primary Care
Enhancing primary care services and accessibility.
The Institute for Health System Research and Solutions is dedicated to developing non-partisan, research-based solutions and ideas to improve our healthcare system.
The Institute aims to foster and embolden conversations around how to meaningfully improve patient outcomes in Canada while preserving universal access to the highest quality of care possible.
Canadians are facing a crisis in access; how can new and existing resources be leveraged to improve outcomes for patients and help renew primary care?
The number of years Canadians spend in good health is shrinking; what interventions can be made at a systems level to help improve quality of life while addressing issues such as chronic disease?
In Canada, many healthcare providers work in tandem with contracted services, such as ambulatory care; how might contract-design innovations improve affordability and broaden access?
How can our public system partner with organizations and entities to unlock untapped capital in Canada and drive better care?
