ICES Internet
Description edit
Since its inception in 1992, ICES has played a key role in providing unique scientific insights to help policymakers, managers, planners, practitioners and other researchers shape the future direction of the Ontario health care system. Our unbiased, evidence-based knowledge and recommendations, profiled in research atlases, investigative reports, and peer-reviewed journals, are used to guide decision-making and inform further research.
Working within an inquiry-driven culture, the multi-disciplinary expertise at ICES consistently produces groundbreaking results. With upwards of 150 faculty and staff, more than 100 research projects are underway at any given time. Many of our scientists have achieved international recognition in their respective areas of research, holding appointments at leading universities and maintaining clinical practices at academic health sciences centres.
ICES research encompasses the assessment of care delivery, patterns of service utilization, health technologies, drug therapies and treatment modalities. Key to ICES' research is our ability to anonymously link population-based health information on an individual patient basis, using unique ICES identifiers that ensure the privacy and confidentiality of health information. Linked data allows researchers to obtain a more comprehensive view of specific health care issues, than could be achieved with unlinked data.
