Welcome to Data & Information Quality Week
Sponsored by CIHI, 3terra, & Microsoft
The pandemic has shone a light on just how important data and information are.
Leaders at all levels and across many sectors rely on quality information
to make decisions that impact people’s health.
Those who work within the health information profession
are uniquely equipped to input accurate, complete, and consistent data
and ensure that information outputs are high-quality.
Join us from January 24–28, 2022, to learn the importance of
data and information quality from industry leaders.
