Impact of analytics and surveillance on dealing with a pandemic

In my latest vlog, I am joined by Dr. Stafford Dean, Chief Data and Analytics Officer; Dr. Hussain Usman, Executive Director of Public Health Surveillance and Infrastructure; Dr. Jason Cabaj, a Medical Officer of Health in Calgary Zone who supports the Public Health Surveillance team; and another Jason — Dr. Jason Scarlett, a health system engineer with Strategic Analytics.

Together we talk about how they and their teams gather data, what they do with the data, and the impact their work has on population health and measures to prepare the health system for dealing with a pandemic.
