The Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and Evaluation created POPULIS, a health information system, to transform administrative data into policy-relevant insights. This system bridges researchers and policymakers, influencing health care as a health determinant.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Health Policy
  • Public Health Informatics

Background:

  • The Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and Evaluation (MCHPE) identified a need for better utilization of health data.
  • Existing administrative data lacked transformation into actionable policy insights.
  • A gap existed between health research production and policy application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and function of the POPULIS health information system.
  • To illustrate how MCHPE transforms routinely collected administrative data into policy-relevant information.
  • To demonstrate the utility of a population-based framework in health policy discussions.

Main Methods:

  • Development of POPULIS, a population-based health information system.
