Online tracking and reporting
Comprehensive tracking and reporting throughout the data access process is available to data providers via our custom online management tools.
Data providers can now view all their Data Access Requests (DARs) using DARonline. Features include:
The Secure Research Environment (SRE)
The Secure Research Environment (SRE) is a Population Data BC service which provides Researchers with a central location for access to and processing of research data, secure storage and back up of their data extract and free software for data analysis.
Archival back up and storage of data
We can provide secure, long-term storage of old versions of data for historical reference.
We have a process in place to store archival copies of research extracts for Researchers, in order to meet Research Ethics Board (REB) requirements, without expecting retention and access of data past a Data Provider’s approved retention date.
Spatial Dimensions of Health with ArcGIS
Overview
Spatial data is the focus of GIS: what can we learn from our spatial data? In this webinar series you will learn key GIS techniques used in the world today. This webinar will focus on three groups of GIS topics: the nuts & bolts of GIS data, GIS visualizations (like maps and graphs), and spatial analysis.
COVID-19 Canada Open Data and Visualization with R Shiny
This webinar is part of the Advanced Methods Webinar Series
The COVID-19 Canada Open Data Working Group was founded in March 2020 in response to the need for accurate, up-to-date and accessible data on the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. Unlike many datasets that provide only aggregate case counts, the working group dataset collects individual-level case data, which are particularly valuable during outbreaks but are seldom made available in real time.
Can texting help manage asthma?
Data access has been approved for a project to evaluate a pharmacist-initiated adherence intervention effort for asthma patients that involves education, monthly text messages and pharmacist follow-up of non-adherent patients.
Measurement in Administrative Health Data: Case Definitions, Algorithms, and Validation Studies
This webinar is part of the Advanced Methods Webinar Series
Despite not being collected for research purposes, administrative health data (e.g., outpatient physician billings, hospitalizations, and prescription drug data) are increasingly being used in epidemiological analyses.
Methods for Modelling Non-Linear Relationships
This webinar is part of the Advanced Methods Webinar Series
This webinar will discuss the options for including continuous covariates in a regression model, and in particular, methods for modeling non-linear relationships. In his book, 'Clinical Prediction Models,' Ewout Steyerberg presents a hierarchy of procedures for including a continuous predictor, starting with dichotomizing the variable and moving to modeling the variable using restricted cubi
