The Australian Bureau of Statistics and the ARDC are partnering to enhance capability of integrated health data within the Person Level Integrated Data Asset (PLIDA) for research.
We're kicking off a new project with the Australian Bureau of Statistics to enhance access to integrated health and socioeconomic data for Australian researchers. The project will enhance the accessibility and usability of the Person Level Integrated Data Asset (#PLIDA), a crucial national data asset. Why this matters: - Connected Insights: We're moving from siloed data to connected insight, supporting new research into population health and the social determinants of health. - Efficiency: Researchers using the ABS DataLab will gain faster, more cost-effective access and reduced time preparing data for analysis. - Innovation: Key activities include optimising health datasets, improving researcher capability, piloting the #OMOP Common Data Model, and exploring the potential of synthetic data. By strengthening the usability of integrated data, the project will support new research into population health and the social determinants of health and enable better evidence for policy and planning. Dr Adrian Burton, Director of the People Research Data Commons at the ARDC, said, “Researchers use public sector datasets to gain insights on our society and find improvements and innovations to government agendas such as healthcare, social services, and business.” “The ARDC has a broad partnership strategy with our many government agencies to support researcher access to data. The ABS is a leading data player, and ARDC’s collaboration with them will help researchers make a positive contribution to society’s big challenges such as aging populations, chronic diseases, and intergenerational inequity” Learn more about the Enhancing PLIDA Health Data for Research project: https://lnkd.in/dVYyScQY #healthdata #populationhealth #PLIDA #ABS #OHDSI #NCRISimpact
