International Research
The Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research has a strong international research focus including
many international partnerships which foster multi-disciplinary scholarly exchange and important translational
research opportunities. Most recently, The European Union grant
RN4CAST, co-directed by Linda Aiken and
Walter Sermeus of University of Leuven - Belgium, has been funded to
study the nurse workforce in 14 countries.
Formal collaborative agreements also exist with the University of Basel in Switzerland,
the Institute for Clinical
Evaluative Studies in Toronto, and the Centre for Policy in Nursing Research at the
London School of Hygiene and
Tropical Medicine in London, England. In addition, the Center's International
Hospital Outcomes Consortium, which
undertook the original 5-country study of hospital outcomes in the
United States, Canada, England, Scotland, and
Germany, has expanded
to thirteen countries and now includes New Zealand, Switzerland,
Belgium, Japan,
Thailand, and South Korea. The Center is also involved in a demonstration study in four hospitals
in Russia and
Armenia evaluating the applicability of the magnet process for improving hospital quality of care.
The Center plans to continue developing its international collaborations and is interested in working with
additional countries to replicate the International Hospital Outcomes study.
