To answer their various research questions, Dr. Tanuseputro's team harness the power of ICES (https://www.ices.on.ca/). The ICES contains health administrative data – linked at the individual level – for all Ontarians across all major health sectors (hospitals, physician services, nursing homes, home care, and drugs).

Research Focus
Dr. Tanuseputro's team primarily researches ageing populations and those at the end of life from a health services perspective. Dr. Tanuseputro's team has developed several commonly used definitions for identifying palliative care across multiple health sectors and macros used at ICES. Dr. Tanuseputro's team also has ongoing partnerships with national organizations such as CIHI and PHAC. For instance, in 2020, CIHI recruited Dr. Tanuseputro's team to write a report to inform the development of a national quality indicator: dying in hospital.

Dr. Tanuseputro's team also develops personalized health tools. The tools provide individuals with information specific to their health situation (personalized) and in a way that is easy to understand (accessible). These tools are at The Center for Individualized Health (https://www.individualizedhealth.ca/) and Project Big Life (https://projectbiglife.ca).

Dr. Tanuseputro's team is always open to supporting students and collaborators with other interests. Specifically, Dr. Tanuseputro's team is happy to support students or collaborators for studies that examine health administrative data housed at ICES.
