The 'Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI)' is an independent, not-for-profit organization in
Canada, primarily funded by the provincial and federal governments of Canada. CIHI collects and maintains a number of datasets from across Canada that are relevant to
Canada's healthcare system. CIHI also regularly produces a number of public reports, and works closely with governments to assist them in understanding their health systems.
CIHI data is supplied by
hospitals, regional health authorities,
medical practitioners and
governments. Other sources provide further data to help inform CIHI’s in-depth analytic reports.
CIHI’s data and reports focus on:
★
Health care services
★
Health spending
★
Health human resources
★
Population health
CIHI is comprised of about 600 employees. Most employees work in one of the large office branches in
Toronto and
Ottawa in approximately equal numbers, but CIHI also has smaller branches in
Montreal,
Victoria,
Edmonton and
St. John's.
