Summary
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research - Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (IHSPR) aims to expand applied health services and policy research (HSPR) capacity. This commentary examines challenges and opportunities for health system transformation, emphasizing social system changes and interdisciplinary research.
Area of Science:
- Health Services and Policy Research (HSPR)
- Health System Transformation
- Science of Science
Background:
- The Canadian Institutes of Health Research - Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (CIHR IHSPR) released its 2021-2026 Strategic Plan.
- The plan prioritizes expanding applied health services and policy research (HSPR) capacity and research mobilization.
- These priorities align with community-wide goals for health system transformation, aiming for the Quadruple Aim and health equity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the HSPR community's capacity to achieve learning health systems.
- To analyze obstacles to the rapid scale-up of health system innovations over the next five years.
- To critically review the governance of research within the HSPR field.
Main Methods:
- Commentary and critical review of the CIHR IHSPR Strategic Plan 2021-2026.
- Analysis of systemic challenges and obstacles to health system transformation.
- Examination of virtual care adoption during the pandemic to illustrate innovation dynamics.
Main Results:
- Health system transformation requires viewing it as social system transformation.
- Interdisciplinary and comparative research must be strengthened.
- The spread of virtual care highlights the negotiated nature of innovation and the need to monitor social distribution of benefits and costs.
Conclusions:
- Reconsidering health system transformation as social system transformation is essential.
- Strengthening interdisciplinary and comparative research is crucial for progress.
- Developing a science of science is a priority for understanding high-impact research conditions in Canada's HSPR community.

01:30Types of Impact
648
Impacts can be classified in various forms, primarily under two subgroups: central impact and oblique impact. A central impact occurs when two objects collide head-on, possessing opposite velocities aligned along the line of impact. Conversely, an oblique impact occurs when two objects collide at an angle, resulting in a modification of both direction and velocity.
The coefficient of restitution is a metric for understanding the dynamics of impacts. It quantifies the ratio of relative velocity...

01:25Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding
153
Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.
Confounding can be addressed at both the design phase of a study and through analytical methods after data...

01:23Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches
171
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

01:40Archival Research
16.3K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).
