Information-Rich Environments for Population Health Research: Challenges and Opportunities
Lisa M. Lix, PhD P.Stat.
Abstract: Canada’s health information environment is expanding rapidly to integrate administrative data, electronic medical records, and clinical registries, and to incorporate methods and tools to mine these data. Despite extraordinary opportunities for research aimed at improving the health of populations, there are also significant barriers, including less-than-optimal data qualities, data siloes, and limited analytic training opportunities. As a consequence, the value of these data are not fully realized. This talk will highlight initiatives to improve data fitness for use, expand data collaborations and networks, and build capacity in machine learning and data visualization methods.
Biography: Lisa Lix is a Professor of Biostatistics in the Department of Community Health Sciences at the University of Manitoba, Canada, Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Methods for Electronic Health Data Quality, and Director of the Data Science Platform in the George & Fay Yee Centre for Healthcare Innovation at the University of Manitoba. Her research expertise lies in statistical methods for complex healthcare data and patient-reported outcome measures. She collaborates widely with research groups and organizations across Canada, including Health Data Research Network Canada, Canadian Network for Observational Drug Effect Studies, and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
