The Unit’s contribution
As part of the Living Labs program on major neurocognitive disorders, the Unit helped the teams prepare their applications to ensure that they were in line with the perspective of a learning healthcare system and, more specifically, that they had all the tools they needed to integrate users into the definition and execution of their research project.
The Unit makes its expertise available to the selected teams throughout the implementation of their projects. Consulting expertise tailored to the projects and needs of the research teams is offered in the following areas, in particular:
- Learning Health System
- Patient engagement
- Data Management Optimization
- Capacity Building
- Health economics
- Data to knowledge
- Equity, diversity and inclusion
- Indigenous Health
- PREMs (patient-reported experience measures)
- PROMs (patient-reported outcomes measures)
