This seminar will introduce the important and rich information available at CIHI, share progress being made in Canada towards better health data, and discuss working with CIHI as a researcher or partner. CIHI maintains 30 critical databases that contribute, along with other data suppliers such as Statistics Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada, to improving the depth and breadth of Canada’s health data ecosystem. Join us to learn how CIHI collects, analyzes, and publishes comparable health system data in support of health policy and health system decision making.
