Health Data Research Network Canada (HDRN Canada)

The Health Data Research Network Canada (HDRN Canada) is a platform for the exchange of health data resources and expertise. HDRN Canada facilitates collaboration between individuals and organizations to mobilize expertise and stimulate innovation, thereby promoting better use of health data. HDRN Canada maintains access to inter-regional and inter-jurisdictional data for researchers addressing issues that cut across regions through the Data Access Support Hub (DASH). The SPOR Canadian Data Platform (SPOR CDP), another initiative of HDRN Canada, serves to facilitate access to and analysis of health data, while engaging patients, the public and indigenous communities in all its activities. Through its initiatives, HDRN Canada aims to improve public health and the health care system across the country.
