Research
The greatest opportunities to improve value in the health system are through improvements in practice where there is a high burden of care needs and there are large gaps in care. Our research therefore focuses on understanding the care needs for specific target populations with complex care needs and related health system policy and practices that can address those needs.
Evaluation
HSPN uses multiple evaluative approaches including quantitative analysis using health administrative data and qualitative approaches to inquiry and has provided central evaluation to the Province for programs including Health Links, the Integrated Funding Model Pilot project and Bundled Care for hip and knee replacements. Research conducted by the HSPN were the foundation for initiatives that have provided advanced evidence on the anticipated and realized effects of policies. HSPN developed the person-centred costing algorithms that first identified the total health expenditures associated with the top 1% and 5% of health care users.
