The Canada Research Chair in Implementing Integrated Care for People with Complex Needs aims to promote optimal coordination of care for this population group, and improve transitions between the various health, social services and community network professionals.
The Canada Research Chair in Implementing Integrated Care for People with Complex Needs ultimately aims to transform healthcare systems to ensure greater health equity, and better health for people with complex needs.
Evidence supports the importance of integrating care between all professionals from different sectors to improve care for this population. Integration models, such as case management, aim to overcome the fragmentation of care and improve transitions of care between the different professional resources of the healthcare system and the community network. Health equity, health and health system performance are largely influenced by the care transitions of this population.
Knowledge users will be engaged throughout the projects to ask research questions relevant to them, and the most appropriate methods will be used to answer them.
Better understand care transitions for people with complex needs: a) within the healthcare network (front-line and hospital); and b) between the healthcare network and the community network; and propose strategies to improve these transitions.
Evaluate the implementation of case management in the healthcare system.
Each axis includes projects of national scope.

On 26 February, Catherine Hudon, Marie-Dominique Poirier, Phillipe Lachance and Walter Wodchis were on the panel of the webinar ‘Scaling up Integrated Care- Challenges and Successes’, of the Canadian Primary Care Research Network. This webinar identified the successes and challenges of scaling up integrated care and helped to better understand how to apply the principles of knowledge translation in research networks.
