Data analytics and evidence synthesis to inform health policy and practice

Data analytics and evidence synthesis to inform health policy and practice
About

Large-scale data analytics is the science of using a range of data types to inform community, practitioner and policy-maker decision-making. In the population health context, data types include routinely collected data (e.g. hospitalisation, cancer registry and death data) and cohort studies, or separate efforts such as quality registries. Analyses are conducted to quantify the role of modifiable risk factors for health conditions, to fill the gaps identified in major evidence assessments such as health technology assessments, guidelines and other reviews and to interpret patient data for a more people-centred integrated care approach in healthcare and implementation sciences. Both large data analytics and evidence synthesis help link between research and practice
