Health Data for Linguistic Minority Group Research in Canada: Proof-of-Concept Centralized Health Care Metadata Repository Development and Usability Study
Developing a national MDR would be a transformative opportunity for Canadian researchers to leverage the full scope of Canadian health administrative data. Although a top-down approach with consistent engagement of and collaboration between provincial data holdings and federal data agencies is ideal to develop a national MDR, this study demonstrates the feasibility of a bottom-up approach in contributing to this overarching goal.
