Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI)

The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) is a national organization that collects, analyzes, and shares information about healthcare in Canada. Its goal is to provide accurate data on health services, patient outcomes, and system performance, helping policymakers, healthcare providers, and the public make informed decisions. CIHI monitors trends, improves transparency, and supports efforts to enhance the quality, efficiency, and sustainability of Canada's healthcare system. It does not provide direct patient care but plays a vital role in ensuring healthcare data is reliable and accessible for improving health services across the country.
