0372 Data Disarray – the Root of Health Data Dysfunction in Canada
$30.00
Most experts agree that health data is poorly designed and used in Canada and that is leading to the harm of Canadians and significant health care system dysfunction. In order to address this problem it is important to identify the cause. In Data Disarray we establish that a significant contributor to health data dysfunction in Canada is a poorly crafted or absent health data policy and governance. These shortfalls in health data policy and governance promote the institutional fragmentation of health data which leads to the harm of Canadians and damage to the health care system.
