Collaboration with Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care

In 2002, the Ministry invited Dr. Coyte to collaborate with a team of divisional directors, senior health policy strategists, and health policy consultants on the Long Term Care Redevelopment Project.

The goal of this assignment is to build a comprehensive, yet concise, conceptual framework to guide the development and implementation operational long-term care planning models for Ontario. The framework was: evidence-based, to reflect the state of scientific knowledge about long term care planning; flexible, to accommodate new knowledge with respect to estimation techniques and new data; and pragmatic, to respond to the policy environment in which it will be applied.

Dr. Coyte‘s role involved the development and application of new forecasting methods; the cultivation of research aptitude and uptake on the part of policy makers, and the fostering of knowledge exchange and evidence-based decision-making in a context of competing priorities.
