The Centre for Advancing Collaborative Healthcare and Education (CACHE) is a strategic partnership between the University of Toronto and the Toronto Academic Health Science Network with the University Health Network as lead hospital. We collaboratively lead the University of Toronto’s Interprofessional Education (IPE) curriculum, partnering with 11 health sciences programs and a practice network including more than 15 Toronto hospitals. We collaborate with local, national, and international partners to advance education, practice, research, systems, and policy toward better work and care for all, offering professional development programs and consultation to support this advancement. We keep learners and community, patient/client and family/caregiver partners at the heart of our work.
The Centre for Effective Practice (CEP) is one of the largest independent knowledge translation organizations for primary care in Canada. It brings together knowledge, evidence, expertise and resources to ensure frontline providers have the information they need to deliver high-quality care and improve patients' health outcomes. In Ontario alone, its work reaches over 18,000 healthcare providers each year through established relationships with key organizations, medical schools, colleges and associations.
The BRI Centre for Equity and Effectiveness (BRI-CEE) was formed in 2019 when researchers at the Bruyère Research Institute working on both Canadian and global health issues came together under the common goals of research that focuses on equity and effectiveness of health interventions in Canada and abroad.
Within BRI-CEE, there are several distinct research groups: The Ottawa Centre for Health Equity, the Campbell Collaboration and the WHO Collaborating Centre for Knowledge Translation and Health Technology Assessment in Equity, as well as multiple research labs.
As a group of diverse researchers, the BRI-CEE portfolio focuses on the following key areas: health equity, accessibility and social accountability, evidence synthesis and knowledge translation, neglected tropical diseases, acceptability of new interventions and treatments, community engagement, health systems and health system strengthening, economic evaluation and health technology assessments, infectious disease epidemiology, surveillance, travel medicine, sexual and reproductive health, gender and human rights, pandemic preparedness, digital health, public health policy, and health innovation.
Evidence2Practice Ontario (E2P) is working with hospital and primary care partners to improve provider experience and enhance patient care. Together we are designing easy-to-use digital tools and implementation supports that seamlessly integrate the most up-to-date and relevant evidence and quality standards into front-line clinical systems across Ontario.
E2P brings together multi-disciplinary, cross-sector expertise under the joint leadership of the Centre for Effective Practice, eHealth Centre of Excellence and North York General Hospital. It is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health as part of Ontario’s Digital First for Health Strategy with support from Ontario Health.
