ICES McMaster is a health services research facility that provides researchers and trainees with access to over 100 health-related database holdings that can be linked for a comprehensive overview of health care delivery and outcomes in Ontario. Some health service databases include the entire Ontario population eligible for universal health coverage – 13 million people annually. The breadth and scope of ICES data is a resource for population-based evidence to inform health policy, planning and evaluation.
