Alberta Innovates – secondary use data project
Every day, Alberta’s health system generates a wealth of data and information.Initially data has a primary purpose that may relate to a number of specific uses, including patient care, finances or staffing.However, this information may also help researchers and analysts have a better understanding of health system performance, disease and more.When data is used in a way that differs from the original reason it was collected, it is called secondary use data.
The Secondary use data project is a provincially led, multi-partner project to facilitate the enhanced and advanced use of secondary use health and social data for the health and socioeconomic benefit of Albertans.
