Projects
The following projects are currently being completed by DAS. Projects are listed in the order in which Research Ethics Board approval was obtained. The “Year Range” is based on ICES fiscal year, April 1 – March 31.
Assessment of paediatric specialty volume in Ontario
Assault injury and maltreatment events – update 2024
Epidemiology and healthcare utilization associated with herpes zoster and pneumococcal disease
A request from an Indigenous community or organization has been accepted
Seniors eligible for OSDCP 2025
Cancer screening rates (breast, colorectal, cervical) for Central LHIN region (Update 2016)
Summary:
The Central LHIN Regional Cancer Screening Program is requesting up-to-date screening data to inform screening and prevention initiatives. Annual cancer screening rates for breast, colorectal and cervical cancer for the Central LHIN will be evaluated and used to determine any targeted activities for underscreened areas in the region and inform public and primary care provider engagement activities.
International approaches to high-cost patients
Summary:
Health care spending is concentrated in a small percentage of the population. For example, in Ontario, the top 5% of high-cost users account for two-thirds of health care costs; similar rates are found in the United States, United Kingdom and Netherlands. Comparisons of other jurisdictions is likely to offer insights which are not readily apparent when examining Ontario alone. The research will provide important context for current efforts to provide more integrated, higher quality and higher value care to high-cost patients.
Community Paramedicine Remote Patient Monitoring
Summary:
The Community Paramedicine Remote Patient Monitoring is intended to inform both patients and providers by providing the appropriate level of care at the right time and in the right place, thereby keeping Ontarians safe in their homes longer. The study will draw together 911 emergency services and program delivery data with ICES data to assess whether this program leads to reductions in hospital and community health care costs.
Incidence and prevalence of diabetes, COPD, ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease for Peel Public Health
Summary:
The Population Health Assessment Team at Peel Public Health publishes health status data online and requests updated incidence and prevalence data related to chronic diseases. The information will be used to make evidence-informed decisions around planning, implementation, delivery and evaluation of public health programs.
