OP171 Canadian Disease Registry Inventory: Environmental Scan Of The Literature
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 December 2023
Abstract
In consideration of the lessons learned from other jurisdictions and other ongoing work in the disease registry data space, an opportunity existed to investigate the current Canadian landscape and identify opportunities for a Canadian registry list. Previously, no national-level inventory of registries existed in Canada that could provide the necessary information to support awareness and use of available data for decision-making.
A literature search was conducted on key resources, including MEDLINE and a focused internet scan. No methodological filters were applied to limit retrieval by publication type. The search was limited to documents published in English or French.
Core characteristics of the identified registries were extracted and contextual information on the current landscape of disease registries in Canada was explored. A literature review and draft inventory list has been produced.
A CADTH environmental scan was undertaken to collect and report on existing Canadian disease registries and to identify key features, characteristics, and intersections. This information and analysis increase the potential of Canadian registries to inform decision-making and identifies opportunities for the optimal use of registry data in Canada more broadly.
