Centre for Health System Design and Management

Part of the Conference Board’s Network Series on High Performing Health Systems, the Centre for Health System Design and Management is the answer to Canada’s fragmented approach to health system development. The Centre brings together senior decision-makers from across Canada and focuses on seeking evidence of what works in health care, and how to implement it. The Centre examines the types of organization management and systems that can best address the specific challenges confronting Canadian health-care systems. It conducts in-depth research on how current system design and management can be improved, and holds biannual meetings to allow members to engage in focused discussions that guide the research agenda and effect knowledge transfer between members and leading experts in the field.

The Key Benefits for Members of the Centre include an opportunity to:

  • Collaborate with other leaders who have a vested interest in the capacity of Canadian health-care systems, from a multi-sectoral, multidisciplinary standpoint;
  • Further the publication of original research related to organizational design and management system best practices, which can be used to improve the Canadian health-care system;
  • Engage in frank and confidential discussion with peers on issues affecting the health-care system;
  • Obtain business intelligence to better serve customers; and
  • Network with leading experts about issues relevant to health-care systems today and in the future.
