About ITH
We are pleased to share that the ITH has been granted provisional status by the Desautels Faculty to be recognized as a research institute, marking an important step toward establishing it as a leading hub for interdisciplinary scholarship, collaboration, and innovation. ITH was created to help address the growing systemic pressures affecting healthcare across Canada. These issues are felt by millions and our focus is to examine three key areas: access to primary care, surgery scheduling and emergency department flow. Challenges that persist not because of a lack of clinical expertise, but due to structural, organizational and coordination difficulties.
Backed by $5.75 million in donor support, thanks to support from鈥 Power Corporation of Canada, Canada Life, and Investors Group Inc., the Institute is a crosssector collaborative effort that unites 成人VR视频鈥檚 Desautels Faculty of Management, the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, and the Max Bell School of Public Policy, alongside healthcare institutions and government partners.
