CPCRC: CATALYST-PC

[Debra Turnbull]

This is about unlocking Primary Care Datasets. That means that, the EMRs (electronic medical record systems) in primary care - containing PHI (personal health information) - would be accessed, and the data pooled for study (called = secondary use).

I‘ve attended CPCRC sessions before, but this time when I tried to register, I got a pending approval response, and I’ve heard nothing since. Clearly they’re filtering their audience this time, I wonder why?

[Debra Turnbull]

@Chris-Johnston

Yeah, me too. I believe that this happened the last time as well. The link usually shows up right before the session.

Maybe they're collecting and sorting the submitted questions?
Or looking for something else?

@Debra-Turnbull

There was a delay in receiving the links for the QueensU sessions, but it didn't explicitly say it was pending approval. I think they were just slow processing.

But just in case they're weeding certain people out, I've registered again under my student email address, coz inquiring minds want to know

@Chris-Johnston

What a way to circumvent the system! Good job!

Based on our previous discussion:

... research project to run a broad sample of clinical notes through the (bias) tool and see how much bias it picks up and at what severity...

It would be interesting to keep this in mind during the presentation. I wonder if this has crossed their minds?

@Chris-Johnston

Guess what?! I got my meeting link this morning !!

[Chris Johnston]

@Debra-Turnbull

Got mine this morning but only through my student account, not my personal email

[Kim Locke]

@Chris-Johnston I have been "weeded" out before in similar events due to having a gmail address or not having the proper academic credentials.

[Chris Johnston]

@Kim-Locke

That's happened to me too Kim, although this is the first time it's happened with CPCRC

[Kim Locke]

@Chris-Johnston Ah! I got my webinar link yesterday, and am looking forward to it!

I would be interested in learning what you think. I believe the CPCRC is an important vehicle for connecting primary care data in Canada. I will be on holidays so am counting on all of you who finally have the links. If there are still link issues, we can raise it with Onil et al.
