Identifying Best Practices and Future Research Opportunities

Medbuy has entered into a 5-year strategic partnership with CAPHC to provide funding for:

• Conducting an inventory of child and youth health networks that are most likely to address key current and emerging child and youth health needs, in particular, areas of national priority e.g. childhood obesity, injury prevention, patient safety which includes the well-recognized problem of medication errors;
• Creating an infrastructure across disciplines, health care facilities/organizations and the continuum of care that will enable national collaborative efforts in health services and policy research, knowledge translation, practice application/ implementation and evaluation;
• Collaborating on the development and evaluation of models of practice with the goal of providing the most efficient, cost effective and accessible systems for supporting the health of children and youth, and;
• Collaborating in national strategies that develop and sustain excellence in education and training, so that we have a workforce that will address the health needs of children and youth across the spectrum of promotion, prevention and care.
