 Acknowledgements
The key strengths of the CPSP continue to be the participation of Canadian paediatricians, subspecialists and other health-care providers in the monthly collection of information on rare paediatric conditions, our principal investigators who review and analyze the data collected to provide us with knowledge and educational solutions to help children and youth around the world, and our Steering Committee members who continue to guide the program.
For their role in the verification of data collected, we thank:
- Canadian Association of Paediatric Health Centres
- Canadian Institute for Health Information
- Canadian Paediatric Decision Support Network
- IMPACT (Immunization Monitoring Program ACTive) centres
- Notifiable Diseases Reporting System, Centre for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control, Health Canada
We also gratefully acknowledge the financial support received to maintain and expand the program in order to improve the health of Canadian children and youth. A summary of supporters is found in this report (page 8).
The strong CPSP partnership between the Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) and Health Canada's Centre for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control (CIDPC) allows the program to grow in Canada and to take a leadership role on the international scene.
A special thank you
To all who participated in the Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program's external evaluation, thank you. With your cooperation and involvement, it was possible to provide the Expert Advisory Group (EAG) with valuable information with which to assess the merits of the program. A special thank you is extended to the EAG, chaired by Dr. Robert McMurtry, for evaluating the program to determine its strengths and weaknesses and how well it is achieving its objectives and goals.
The Steering Committee is proud of the results of the review, which stated, "The CPSP represents an important collaborative tool for surveillance, research and policy development. In this role, it was perceived as unique in Canada. In other words, it provides an important activity that would disappear in its absence, unless a much larger investment was made to replace it."
Dr. Robert McMurtry
"CPSP, a gem, a light under a bushel"
