Evidence with Impact, ICES’ 2018/19 annual report, is now available online. In addition to outlining our achievements over the previous fiscal year, the report highlights six research projects whose impact has contributed to better policy, a stronger healthcare system and healthier people. They include:
- Supporting Indigenous-led use of ICES data and methods to answer important health questions in First Nations communities
- Electronic “second opinion” helps ER doctors decide if low-risk heart failure patients can be safely sent home
- Better access to healthcare and mental health supports for Canada’s military families
- Using ICES data to help Ontario communities deal with the opioid crisis
- ICES data and methods uniquely positioned to support Ontario’s health transformation
- How big data is helping the public to understand their health risks
