Director’s Message
I am pleased to introduce the Centre for Health Evaluation and Outcome Sciences’ (CHÉOS) Annual Report for 2011/12. The Centre has seen much success this past year, and we are delighted that in January of 2012, CHÉOS received approval and became a University of British Columbia (UBC) Faculty of Medicine Research Centre. As part of this significant achievement, we look forward to working with a newly established External Advisory Committee for the Centre consisting of academic, industry and government partners. With our scientists representing six departments within UBC, including the School of Population and Public Health and numerous divisions within the Faculty of Medicine, in addition to the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the School of Nursing in the Faculty of Applied Sciences, we anticipate even greater collaboration and coordination with one of Canada’s leading universities.
Four new scientists joined CHÉOS in 2011/12: Dr. Nick Bansback from UBC’s School of Population and Public Health, Dr. Richard Sawatzky from the School of Nursing at Trinity Western University, and Drs. Martha Mackay and Peggy Simpson, both clinical nurse specialists with Providence Health Care and faculty members in UBC’s School of Nursing. We also added over thirty trainees and twenty research staff members, demonstrating the Centre’s continued commitment to providing a rich training environment for new talent.
Several of our major research initiatives received renewal funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) in 2011/12. These include the Health and Housing in Transition study led by Dr. Anita Palepu in Vancouver and the Cedar Project led by Drs. Patricia Spittal and Martin Schechter. We were also happy to see a CIHR New Emerging Team Grant for Rare Diseases awarded to Dr. Larry Lynd and his colleagues.
This Annual Report highlights the accomplishments of CHÉOS scientists, staff and students, and recognizes their efforts to undertake, support and achieve personal and professional excellence. Our scientists were appointed to new leadership positions, given opportunities to lead new impactful initiatives and our research endeavors garnered local and international attention in the media. The Centre also hosted numerous well-attended workshops and seminars promoting collaboration, best practices in research as well as knowledge sharing across health disciplines.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Providence Health Care Research Institute for their support of our Centre, as well as all of my CHÉOS colleagues for their outstanding efforts contributing to not only our Centre’s success, but to advancing health outcomes research. We look forward to continuing our efforts to support and conduct collaborative research that informs improved patient care, and I hope you enjoy reviewing our achievements contained in this report.

This study will also test if those effectively treated with these two injectable medications can be successfully switched and retained to the oral formulations of the medications.
The SALOME study follows up on an unexpected finding of the NAOMI study, which was that injection patients could not accurately discriminate whether they were receiving diacetylmorphine or hydromorphone. Investigators also observed similar results and benefits with both these drugs, although the small number of participants receiving hydromorphone did not permit us to draw any definite and scientifically valid conclusions as to the efficacy of hydromorphone as a treatment option.
Should hydromorphone be proven to be as good as diacetylmorphine, the benefits of this form of injectable treatment may be more feasible and achievable without the emotional and regulatory barriers often presented by heroin At Home/Chez Soi in the media maintenance.

Work in Progress Seminars samantha jung photo/chÉOS
Our Work in Progress seminars highlight research from all research disciplines.
Work in Progress (WiP) presentations take place at St. Paul’s Hospital in the Hurlburt Auditorium every second Wednesday from 12:00–1:00pm. These seminars provide investigators with an opportunity to present ongoing research, obtain feedback from colleagues and peers, and make new connections for their projects. A light lunch is served.
Below are the Work in Progress abstracts for the presentations that took place in 2011–2012.

The analysis shows a rapidly changing pattern of resource use with important implications for policy makers. We will show the preliminary results and also discuss the certain methodological and conceptual challenges inherent in using administrative data in this context.
