“Getting data and information from the government is an ongoing struggle because the data is often five years old so it doesn’t really help us.”
“Not only that, but there are so many privacy and confidentiality issues related to accessing, using, and sharing data. It can be so frustrating.”
“We need the government to move forward on implementing a harmonized information technology system.”
“It might be helpful to lobby the province to improve the currency of data while we wait for the new system. This would help to advance the potential for collaboration and support existing public health and primary care collaborations.”
