Advancing the Use of Health Information in the COVID Era

Speakers: Dr. Jeff Bakal and Dr. Erik Youngson

Description: The Covid-19 pandemic has changed how we live, work and play. Similarly, the health services and health information has been responding quickly to the changing landscape. While the rapid response has changed the data that is collected, and presented some new privacy issues, it has also created opportunities and allowed the development of new, near real-time data sources. In this video, the speakers work through some case studies of how the electronic health information collected is being used to pursue clinical trials, surveys, and other health system research in Alberta.

Land Acknowledgment

The Alberta SPOR SUPPORT Unit operates on and acknowledges the lands that are the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Métis Nation of Alberta. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We make this acknowledgment as a reaffirmation of our shared commitment towards reconciliation, and as part of AbSPORU’s mandate towards fostering health system transformation.
