For many years, health research at CIRANO has contributed to improving our understanding of the impacts of current and future changes, assessing the impacts of policies put in place, and proposing cutting-edge evaluation methods applied to evidence-based data.
Drawing on the CIRANO research community's expertise in healthcare and other related and complementary fields, several research and knowledge transfer activities will address various aspects of the annual theme “Efficiency at the heart of the Quebec health care system”.
Under the aegis of Health theme main researchers Roxane Borgès Da Silva (Université de Montréal), Pierre-Carl Michaud (HEC Montréal) and Erin Strumpf (McGill University) and the CIRANO Pole on the Efficiency of Health Services and Policies Carl-Ardy Dubois (Université de Montréal), activities for the 2024-2025 theme year will focus on four main areas:
1. Elder care
2. Human resources issues
3. Public health
4. Digital transformation
Several CIRANO researchers and Fellows have unique expertise in the issues to be addressed in 2024-2025, and work in recognized research centers and chairs. Other researchers associated with the Skills theme and the Innovation and Digital Transformation theme will also contribute to the activities of the thematic year. Various activities related to the annual theme will be organized throughout the year, some of which are already planned.
A series of articles in CIRANO PERSPECTIVES journal will be published during the year to highlight project reports that fall within one or other of the four main research themes of the thematic year. At the end of the year, all these articles will be gathered together and published in a special issue of the journal.
