Big Data/ICES: “ICES is a beacon for population based research going on in Department of Surgery (DOS) and Western.” Surgical Education: “Centre for Education Research & Innovation (CERI) is already an established, entity within the DOS. Their group is very successful with a multitude of clinical projects. Our opportunity is to expand upon their established success and bring in other partners to strengthen and broaden the scope of ongoing research projects.” Quality Improvement: ”This area of research which includes quality improvement and patient safety is essential to creating a culture of continuous improvement and improved patient care. It is also important with QBP funding models and Ministry of Heath metrics on outcomes from each of our Divisions. This Node becomes increasingly relevant in the translation of research which is produced from the other Nodes.” Patient Centered Research: “This area of research, which includes patient diagnostics, management/treatment and outcomes, is becoming increasingly important with QBP funding models and Ministry of Heath metrics on outcomes from each of our Divisions. This Node becomes increasingly important as research is produced from the other Nodes and eventually leads to the bedside.” Fundamental Sciences & Surgical Innovation: “This Node will continue to be a flagship for the DOS as most of the successful, externally funded ongoing research projects within our individual Divisions are based upon laboratory/bench research. Creating an environment which brings together basic science laboratories and biotechnology research facilities with clinical innovators will lead to accelerated translation to mainstream clinical and educational practice through close collaboration with the Innovations Fellows program and World Discoveries”
