Foundations of Health Data

This course focuses on understanding the different types of health data available within healthcare systems. Understanding where to source the data is fundamental to the application of analytics strategies. Students will examine how data is collected, stored, mined, analyzed, and interpreted for purposes of reporting, quality, performance management, decision making, and research. A review of particular data sources and repositories within national and provincial health systems will be addressed.
