26 June Webinar: Public Trust, Literacy & Health Data

[Chris Johnston]

Thought this upcoming webinar from the Health Data Research Network might be worth sharing:
Public Trust, Literacy & Health Data Foundations in Canada

From the website:

It is critical for the public to have trust in governments and organizations that collect, protect, share and use health data. In this webinar, Julia Burt and Dr. Kim McGrail will provide an overview of a foundational paper developed by HDRN Canada, in collaboration with the Public Health Agency of Canada, on public trust and data literacy. This paper starts with principles outlined in the Pan-Canadian Health Data Charter, which puts people and populations at the centre of health data management. It then highlights the risks and benefits of data sharing and identifies other principles, all of which relate to public trust.

During the session, Julia and Dr. McGrail will highlight the engagement processes and methods used to develop the paper, and present its key findings, including the paper's six recommendations for trustworthy data practices. These recommendations are intended to help different levels of government, health system organizations and others work together to earn trust in how health data are managed and used. They acknowledge that trust is earned based on what is done, how it is done, and how transparent and understandable government or organizational practices are.
