Welcome to SCPOR!
Engaging Patients. Supporting Researchers. Improving Health Together.
The Saskatchewan Centre for Patient-Oriented Research (SCPOR) is a partnership of organizations that support and advance patient-oriented research in Saskatchewan.
We help patients that want to get involved in making positive changes in our healthcare system.
We provide support to researchers to collaborate with patients in meaningful ways.
We provide training and development opportunities to advance POR in Saskatchewan.
Patient-oriented research (POR) occurs when multi-disciplinary research teams engage patients, as well as their caregivers and families, as partners in the research process. POR focuses on patient-identified priorities that lead to improved patient outcomes in health care.
Patient-oriented research teams are multi-disciplinary. The goal is to include Patient Partners, families, clinicians, researchers and policy-makers on research teams to work together and identify research topics, complete the research and then use the results of that research to improve patient care and the health system.
