Partner with us!

Patients with complex care needsrequire more and varied healthcare services than the averagepopulation.

They also require access to a high degree ofcoordinated care.

Evidence has shown that these individuals and theirfamilies have better outcomes if they have access tointegrated services across settings and sectors.

Although promising research initiatives in this field areunderway in NB, many have been undertaken independentlyof one another; which results in fragmented efforts to improvehealth outcomes.

It is critical to provide a platform for the integration of theseresearch initiatives to ensure effective collaboration among keystakeholders, hence the development of the ʻCentre forResearch in Integrated Careʼ (CRIC).

Project planning

A living lab providesresearchers, knowledge users,and patients with a real lifesetting where innovative ideascan be explored, evaluated, andmodified as needed throughoutthe research process.

CRIC, established inOctober 2018, is acollaborative livinglaboratory that developsand evaluates integratedmodels of care that arepatient-centred and meetthe unique needs ofindividuals with complexhealth and socialconcerns.

CRIC is also a transformativeteaching centre for researchtrainees and clinicians acrossdisciplines.
