Health Information Data Governance Committee Overview
The Health Care Data Repository is a database of aggregated health care information intended for system analysis and quality improvement. It is not intended for health care delivery. Alberta Netcare is an Electronic Health Record that gathers patient specific information for the purpose of providing health care.
Through the provincial billing system Alberta Health, already has encounter data from providers providing insured services. The Healthcare Data Repository is new in Alberta and it was designed to support health system planning and quality improvement. Importantly, the repository is governed by the Health Information Data Governance Committee with significant representation of providers such as physicians, nurses and pharmacists.
