CRiHSP’s research is centred around 3 core domains of health system performance:
| 1. | Increasing accountability and feed-back on value centred performance according to the quadruple aim (population health, user experience, cost-minimisation and provider well-being) through the routine use of patient and provider reported information; |
| 2. | International comparative health systems performance assessment for identification and dissemination of best practices; and |
| 3. | Optimising core health system functions of continuity and coordination for maximising integration and minimising duplication and waste. |

Health Experiences Singapore (HEXI-SG)
The Health Experiences Singapore (HEXI-SG) initiative is a collaboration between CRiHSP and the Department of Family Medicine (NUHS). It is part of Health Experiences International, an international collective of 14 countries and is the first in Southeast Asia.
HEXI-SG aims for the creation and curation of a repository of patient experiences for self-care and patient and public empowerment, research, training of health professionals, and quality improvement. This initiative makes use of the Health Experiences Insights Methodology, an internationally renowned, state-of-the-art qualitative research and dissemination method which involves a maximum variation purposive sample to ensure diversity of patient perspectives.
