The CQuIPS research program aims to advance the field of quality improvement and patient safety (QIPS) by generating and disseminating new knowledge and linking theoretical foundations of quality and safety with practical applications in healthcare settings. Collaborations with other research groups and units to bring varied and diverse research perspectives to inform our work. Critical to our approach is to work with partners across the various health system levels (e.g., patients, healthcare providers, management, industry, government, regulator bodies) to develop, scale and spread system improvements. We also have begun directing our research activities towards our Centre’s key areas of thematic focus, namely health equity and health system resilience.

The impact of our Centre’s research can be demonstrated through the many publications produced by our leadership team and core members, including in high impact journals such as JAMA, BMJ Quality and Safety, and Academic Medicine, covering a wide range of QIPS topics.
