Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI)

The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) plays a critical role in the development of Canada's health information system. CIHI is a federally chartered but independent, not-for-profit organization. It brings programs, functions and activities from The Hospital Medical Records Institute (HMRI), The MIS Group, Health Canada (Health Information Division) and Statistics Canada (Health Statistics Division) together under one roof. In addition, the Institute is launching several new key initiatives as it assumes a leadership position in health information.

CIHI is a partner of the CIHR Team in Community Care and Health Human Resources.

M-THAC projects with which CIHI was involved include:

• Do Regionalization Models Matter? Home Care Resource Allocation in the Maritime Provinces
• Health Service Utilization associated with Suicidal Behaviours in the Elderly in Ontario

CIHI was kind enough to allow us to include the following bonus track materials and links:
