The Unité de soutien SSA Québec mobilizes knowledge and facilitates its use in the field to improve care, services, and management in the healthcare system. This knowledge comes from patients, scientists, clinicians, and administrators.
It offers a collective project for a Quebec learning health system (LHS). The recipe for this LHS? Breaking down silos by working in partnership, basing decisions on science, and supporting, accompanying, and facilitating change. The Unit applies this recipe to all the projects it leads or supports with the aim of identifying gaps in knowledge within the network, developing that knowledge, making it accessible, and applying it to continuously improve these projects. In this way, it bridges the gap between science, experience, practice, and public policy.
