Data Quality

With the formation of Alberta Health Services, work is underway to create consistent definitions and health data across the province and to harmonize collection methods that previously varied throughout 12 health entities. As such, definition development, data integrity reviews, and data remediation by Alberta Health Services are ongoing in order to enhance data accuracy and consistency.
