Health Administration Faculty Provide Leadership for
Hospital Report 2001
Under the leadership of Adalsteinn Brown, faculty from the Department
of Health Administration are collaborating with lead investigators from
Providence Centre, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, CIHI, the
Women's Health Directorate, the Faculty of Nursing, the Department of
Rehabilitation Medicine, ACREU and ICES to develop Hospital Report 2001.
The Ontario Hospital Association and the Ministry of Health and Long Term
Care have jointly sponsored the report. Hospital Report 2001 will extend
well beyond the acute care sector, providing insights into emergency
care, complex continuing care, rehabilitation, mental health, and women's
health in Ontario. The work will be completed in phases, with the first
phase - acute care - planned for release in May/June 2001. Hospital
Report 2001 will address the need for public accountability of our health
care system, as well as providing a vehicle for quality improvement.
Dementia Care Service Delivery Networks in Ontario
This is a two-year multi-site research study examining four dementia
care service delivery networks in Ontario: Hamilton, Niagara, Toronto and
Ottawa. Approximately 16 agencies are involved in each network. It is
collaboration between investigators at McMaster University and the
University of Toronto and is funded through the Canadian Health Services
Research Foundation and the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. Louise
Lemieux-Charles and Larry Chambers are the co-principal investigators.
The objective is to determine whether a network model of care, spanning
the health and social support services for individuals with Dementia and
their families can ensure continuity of care for consumers and
accountability among providers.
