What is it about?
This discussion-based web conference will use a casebook of PHIR case examples as a starting point for discussion about the nature of PHIR and the state of its development in Canada.
The casebook—a collaboration between the Canadian Population Health Initiative (CPHI) at the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) and the Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH) at the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)—presents a range of research projects that showcase some of the theoretical and methodological approaches used in the PHIR field, as well as tools to promote the application of this kind of research. A panel discussion will review the development of the casebook, present an overview of the cases and consider implications for ways of thinking about PHIR.
The casebook will be available in early 2011.
What will I gain?
Participants will glean insight into:
- Characteristics of PHIR;
- Different theoretical and methodological approaches to PHIR;
- Lessons learned from PHIR initiatives; and
- Key success factors and challenges associated with moving a PHIR agenda forward.
