Abstract

The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) maintains databases to report independently on the health of Canadians and the performance of their healthcare system. CIHI recently received funding to improve indicator development for tracking quality, because in Canada we really have very few data that allow us to make comparable observations down to a regional or institution-specific interest level. We have a long way to go, and we recognize that collaboration and partnership is the only way that this development will move ahead.
