Implementation science to improve healthcare

Our team, led by Dr. Guillaume Fontaine at McGill University, is working on improving healthcare delivery and outcomes through rigorous implementation research. 

OUR MISSION

Leveraging implementation science to improve the quality and equity of healthcare

The RISE³ LAB conducts quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods implementation research to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes. By focusing on the integration of evidence-based practices into real-world settings, the lab aims to ultimately improve the quality and equity of healthcare and enhance health outcomes. Our research spans a number of clinical areas, including infectious diseases, cancer care, and mental health care.
