CIRANO Pole on the Efficiency of Health Services and Policies

Follow us

About

The CIRANO Pole on the Efficiency of Health Services and Policies brings together researchers interested in issues related to the health care system and the Quebec health care system. The health pole is made up of researchers from different universities and research fields. They work in partnership with various public organizations and health research centres (e.g., Institut national d'excellence en santé et services sociaux, CISSS and ICSUHS du Québec, Institut national de santé publique, Centre de recherche en santé publique, Direction régionale de santé publique de Montréal) as well as with many private organizations.

The pole's researchers are interested in the development and evaluation of health innovations, public health policies, the practices of health professionals, the use of health services, the determinants of health and social inequalities in health, as well as the financing and allocation of health resources. The work of the pole on health aims to contribute to improving the efficiency of health services and policies in Quebec.

Products and data

Health Indicators

This search engine is not an exhaustive research tool, but rather should be considered as a "guide" for specific data or information research.

This search engine uses 5168 related to :

  • Population health status
  • Experience with health care and usage of the health care system
  • Organization, financing and costs of the system
  • Public health
  • Medical workforce and available resources
  • Demography (birth rate, mortality, life expectancy, etc.)

The year and geographical stratification, original source and hyperlink are available for each of the 5168 indicators.

The web exploration of 15 reliable health-related resources which are currently available to the general public contributed to this census.

  • Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI)
  • Commissaire à la santé et au bien-être – Quebec government (CSBE)
  • Unité de soutien SRAP Québec
  • Statistics Canada (the data collected was limited to transmissions for the years 2015 to 2018, with a few exceptions for specific and relevant subjects)
  • Institut de la statistique du Québec (ISQ)
  • Ministère de la santé et des services sociaux du Québec (MSSS)
  • Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ)
