The Health System Performance Research Network (HSPRN)

The Health System Performance Research Network (HSPRN) is a university-based collaborative of investigators engaged in projects that aim to:

1. Establish scientifically sound methods of measuring health system performance from a policy and provider perspective.
2. Promote the sharing of best practices among health service providers for improvement and ultimately, enhance the quality of patient care.
3. Increase accountability through communication of performance.
4. Improve the quality of the underlying data sources by promoting accessibility and decision-making based on measures drawn from data.

The HSPRN was launched in 2008, and builds on the work of our predecessor research collaborative, the Hospital Report Research Collaborative.
