VIRTUALLY CAHSPR 2020: A COVID INFORMED VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE AND HEALTH SERVICES AND POLICY RESEARCH

May 27-28, 2020

Virtually CAHSPR hosted on May 27-28, 2020 focussed on the impacts of COVID19 on Canada’s health system, and explored A COVID Informed Vision for the Future of Healthcare and Health Services and Policy Research. The spectacular speakers and panelists discussed their views and observations on what the COVID pandemic has taught us about the delivery of healthcare in Canada, and the impacts of these lessons on health services and policy as the system evolves in response to the pandemic. You will find links to the materials and sessions from the inaugural Virtually CAHSPR event below.

A tremendous amount of work went into the research & resulting abstracts that were submitted for presentation at the in-person CAHSPR conference. We want to share this high calibre work with our community and this compilation of posters provides a glimpse into the outstanding work that our health services and policy researchers are undertaking.
