Health Reform Observer – Observatoire des Réformes de Santé is a fully open access, peer-reviewed, online journal, edited by leading health policy and system researchers from across Canada.  It charges no reader or author fees. HRO-ORS publishes descriptive and comparative analyses of important Canadian health reforms – what happened, how, why, and with what impact. Recognizing the decentralized nature of the Canadian health systems, the journal aims to support inter-jurisdictional learning by facilitating the flow of rigorous, evidence-based information between scholars, decision-makers, and stakeholders.

Health Reform Observer - Observatoire des Réformes de Santé est un journal en ligne, gratuit, à comité de lecture, édité par un groupe d'experts en recherche sur les systèmes de santé, de tout le Canada. HRO-ORS publie des analyses descriptives et comparatives des réformes de santé majeures au Canada : ce qui s'est passé, comment, pourquoi, et avec quelles conséquences. Compte tenu de la nature décentralisée des systèmes de santé au Canada, le journal vise à faciliter les transferts de savoir entre provinces et territoires en encourageant la production et la circulation d’information rigoureuse et fondée sur les preuves entre chercheurs, politiques et parties prenantes.
