The Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (acronym: ICES) is an independent, non-profit corporation that applies the study of health informatics for health services research and population-wide health outcomes research in Ontario, Canada using data collected through the routine administration of Ontario's system of publicly funded health care.
ICES scientists have secure access to Ontario's health administrative data. ICES research teams produce peer-reviewed scientific journal articles, as well as reports and atlases to assist health care providers, government planners and policy makers in improving population health through the advancement of evidence-based practice and health policy.
ICES was established in 1992 and is governed by a Board of Directors. Its vision is to "be a world-leading institute where data and discovery improve health and health care". ICES receives core funding from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC). In addition, ICES faculty and staff receive peer-reviewed grants from federal funding agencies such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and project-specific funds from provincial and national organizations.
Most of the more than 200 scientists affiliated with ICES have clinical and/or teaching appointments at hospitals and universities across Ontario.
ICES research is distributed across seven health areas:
ICES' Central location is on the campus of Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, with satellite locations at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, the University of Ottawa, The University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, the University of Toronto and McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. An additional site at Laurentian University in Northern Ontario is planned to open in 2017.
