Researcher Access to Population-Level Health Data in Ontario and Canada: Three Ways to Access Data

The ICES Research Forum is made possible through the support of our core funder, the Ontario Ministry of Health, as well as the Ontario SPOR Support Unit.
This workshop will present practical information about three models for researcher access to population-level health data for research studies, including the linkage of researcher-generated datasets to real-world health data. The three access models are: ICES Data and Analytic Services, Ontario Ministry of Health IntelliHealth service, and Health Data Research Network Canada’s Data Access Support Hub.
