About the OHA's Partners

The OHA and its partners are working together to create a health care environment that is transparent and committed to change. Myhospitalcare.ca is part of a strategy to engage and encourage patients to become active participants in their own health care. Along with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, the OHA is a co-funder and founder of the Hospital Report and facilitates the researchers’ extensive access to its member hospitals. The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) plays a key role in the development of the Hospital Report and many of CIHI’s methodologies are used worldwide.

Health System Performance Research Network

The Health System Performance Research Network (HSPRN), formerly Hospital Report Research Collaborative (HRRC), began in 1997 when University of Toronto researchers helped develop a system-wide review of Ontario's hospitals. Today, this independent research collaborative, which includes faculty and staff from six universities and five research institutes, continues to conduct research and engage Ontario hospitals in performance measurement and management activities to improve quality of care, enhance hospital accountability and further their understanding of what makes good performance in health care.

Canadian Institute for Health Information

The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) collects and analyzes information on health and health care in Canada and makes it publicly available. Canada’s federal, provincial and territorial governments created CIHI as a not-for-profit, independent organization dedicated to forging a common approach to Canadian health information. CIHI’s goal is to provide timely, accurate and comparable information. CIHI’s data and reports inform health policies, support the effective delivery of health services and raise awareness among Canadians of the factors that contribute to good health.
