Strategic Plan of the IDIAP Jordi Gol

Mission

The objective of the IDIAP is to create applicable new knowledge and evidence by promoting and managing research of excellence in Primary Care, primarily in Catalonia, through training in research, innovation, dissemination of results and translation to the health services.

Vision

We aim to be a leading primary care research organization in Catalonia, Spain and internationally through excellence in research, and to facilitate the participation of professionals in research groups and the dissemination and translation of results into everyday clinical practice.

Values

Trust

Trust implies confidentiality, the good use of the data to which we have access as investigators.

Equity

Equity is the fair and adequate treatment that takes into account the circumstances and values of every individual without discrimination. This fair and adequate treatment must also prevail in the relationship with workers, providers and other stakeholders.

Responsibility

Responsibility is the capacity to own your own decisions and acts, to assume their consequences and to inform the people involved. Responsibility requires transparency and truthfulness about what we say and do (actions), why we do it (values) and its consequences, to ensure good practice in research, teaching and management.

Excellence

Excellence is the continuing professional development to work to the best of our ability, to lead improvement initiatives and to be aware of the changes around us. Excellence requires a set of knowledge, skills and attitudes adequate for the activities we want to carry out.

Cooperation

Cooperation is the attitude of participation and involvement in teamwork, from our own individuality and with a critical approach. We develop our individual work abilities through complementarity and coordination of labour.

Collaboration

Working alongside and in conditions of equality with other public and private organizations involved in research and provision of health services.

Innovation

Capacity to introduce changes to improve assistance and care taking into account feasibility, risks and benefits.
