Information Governance and Data Linkage

The School of Population Health, The University of Western Australia, in collaboration with
The Health Information Research Unit, School of Medicine, Swansea University, Wales
25th to 26th November 2010

This is an intensive two-day workshop on the principles of information governance in the health and human services sectors and their practical application to data linkage systems.

The rapid development of data linkage facilities has brought with it the urgent need to develop new policy frameworks, operating protocols and technical security measures that facilitate the efficient use of linked data by researchers and also provide robust and accountable systems to comply with regulatory requirements and to achieve even higher levels of data security and protection as a commitment to best industry standards.

David Ford and Kerina Jones from Swansea University in Wales have been working at the forefront of international best practice in information governance and data linkage for a number of years.  Their carefully crafted frameworks, protocols and security measures have been put into practice at the SAIL (Secure Anonymised Information Linkage) Databank, which is the recently commissioned national platform for health‑related data linkage in Wales.For more information and to secure your place, go to http://www.sph.uwa.edu.au/courses/summer-school
