Voluntary self-disclosed Indigenous identity of patients in four Canadian health care settings: A multiple-site qualitative case study
Due to the ongoing distrust of government and health care services among Indigenous peoples and communities, special considerations are required prior to the implementation of an Indigenous identifier. Of primary importance is how health care organizations can contribute to Indigenous data governance and minimize potential harms associated with the collection of such data. The findings of this study can be used to guide other health care sites and Indigenous leaders aspiring for more robust health data by implementing voluntary Indigenous identity data collection.
