KEY PRINCIPLES

Our research principles prioritize developing healthcare systems and delivery models that deeply consider the needs, preferences, and well-being of patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. Through patient-centricity, engagement, empowerment, informed decision-making, accessibility, collaboration, sustainability, and equity, we ensure treatments and care plans are tailored, inclusive, and sustainable. Actively involving patients and stakeholders, providing support for informed decision-making, and fostering collaboration among care teams, we strive for accessible, equitable, and high-quality healthcare outcomes for all.


PATIENT-CENTRICITY

Our research is dedicated to tailoring treatments and care plans to meet the specific needs, preferences, and values of each patient, considering their unique health conditions, lifestyles, and cultural backgrounds.


ENGAGEMENT

Our research actively involves patients by creating opportunities for them to contribute to decision-making, express their needs and preferences, and collaborate with healthcare providers. Moreover, we engage a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including patients, families, healthcare providers, and community representatives, to incorporate diverse perspectives into our research, informing healthcare decisions and policies.



EMPOWERMENT

We provide patients, their families, and representatives, as well as patient advocacy groups, with the information and support necessary to ensure they feel confident and capable of making informed decisions. Our aim is to help them fully understand their decisions and effectively manage their treatment in alignment with their preferences and values.


DECISION-MAKING

Our research aims to facilitate collaboration among healthcare professionals, patients, and families, assisting in making informed decisions that best serve the patient's interests and reflect the collective wisdom of the care team. Our research grounds decisions in the best available evidence while also taking into account patient preferences and values, ensuring healthcare delivery is scientifically sound and aligned with patient needs.



ACCESSABILITY

Our research endeavors to remove barriers to accessing care, whether geographical, financial, cultural, or linguistic, to ensure healthcare services are accessible to all. Through our research contributions, we continuously collect and act on feedback from patients, families, and healthcare professionals to improve services and outcomes. 


COLLABORATION

We commit to delivering best practice research through interdisciplinary teams collaborating across specialties to comprehensively address patients’ needs and preferences. We coordinate with innovators, policymakers, regulatory agencies, community, and social services to tackle broader determinants of high-performing healthcare systems.



SUSTAINABILITY

Our research focuses on managing resources efficiently to ensure the long-term sustainability of healthcare services, with an emphasis on preventive care. We believe in focusing on outcomes that matter to patients, such as quality of life, satisfaction with care, and health improvements, going beyond traditional clinical metrics.


EQUITY

Our work is dedicated to identifying and addressing disparities in health outcomes among different populations, striving for equitable healthcare access, quality, and outcomes.
