The Dr. Barrie Strafford Centre for Learning, Innovation, and Quality (CLIQ) at The Brenda Strafford Foundation (BSF) is proud to continue to build new pathways for collaboration that strengthen innovation capacity and support more connected systems of care.
Through our collaboration with CanSPARK LTC, we are working to advance long-term care innovation through shared data infrastructure, electronic medical record standardization, and strengthened governance and privacy frameworks.
Together, the organizations aim to improve how long-term care data is collected, connected, and used to support better outcomes across Canada.
The collaboration also includes quarterly coordination meetings and opportunities to co-develop knowledge products, such as white papers and applied learning tools, supporting broader system-wide improvement and innovation.
This represents a step toward more connected, data-informed long-term care systems that can better support residents and care providers across jurisdictions.
