Health & Ageing
The challenges facing Canadian healthcare require a dynamic, sustainable, and patient-centred response.
Demographic change, limited budgets, workforce sustainability, and technological integration are all putting pressure on health and aged care providers. We work with all levels of government, not-for-profit organizations, and the private sector to navigate complexity, recognize opportunity, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
We work with hospitals to help manage demand and build organizational capabilities, partner with researchers and educators to design and evaluate funding programs, and use lived experience-led design to develop and evaluate aged care and mental health services.
Seeking to overcome inequality, enhance sustainability, and prioritize patient-centred experiences, we put people and communities at the heart of what we do.
Our work includes
-
Hospitals and related services
Growing demand and financial constraints mean hospitals and related services need to be more efficient than ever while also seeking to increase quality and improve patient experience. Guided by a philosophy of patient-centred care, we work with hospitals to manage demand, deliver services and enhance integration with primary care, and community and social services.
-
Primary and community care
At the frontline of health, primary care addresses population health and the social determinants of health. We work with governments and organizations driving care delivery to plan, design and evaluate programs that complement and support general practice. We also support health organizations to build their capabilities and capacity.
-
Research and education
Research and education are vital for delivering better treatments and interventions for patients, improving service delivery and achieving outcomes at the clinical and population levels. We have worked with researchers, funders and education organizations to design, implement and evaluate research and education funding programs, activities and translation.
