The purpose of this dataset is to collect all eReferral data generated by Health Care Providers (HCPs) and linking this data with existing wait time data residing in Ontario Health's Wait Times Information System (WTIS) to support planning, management, evaluation and monitoring of the health system. The data will also be used to support planning, management, evaluation and monitoring of Alternate Level of Care (ALC) and wait times available.
- Need for Personal Health Information (PHI)
-
PHI (patient demographic data, including direct and quasi- identifiers) is used for linkage purposes. No disclosures of eReferral PHI will occur. Internal and external end-users will have access only to aggregate data (non-PHI).
- Why De-identified and/or Aggregate Information will not Serve the Identified Purpose
