Biography
The Quebec Patient-Oriented Research Strategy (SPOR) Support Unit facilitates, strengthens and develops patient-oriented research (PAR).
We are part of the national SPOR network, set up by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
We support the integration of patient-oriented research findings into clinical and organizational practices with the goal of improving care trajectories and the health of patients. PAR is based on the experiences of patients, professionals and managers of the health system.
This is the principle of a learning health system.
Together with our partners, we develop and offer innovative expertise, located in the four Integrated University Networks in Health and Social Services (RUISSS) of Laval, McGill, Montreal and Sherbrooke.
