Surveillance & Reporting team offers extensive support to help you meet your data needs effectively:
- Cancer Epidemiology and Statistics: We support Cancer Care Alberta, Alberta Health Services and Alberta Health decision-making by monitoring trends, driving epidemiologic investigations, and conducting expert statistical analysis.
- Research Design: We assist with feasibility assessments, method consultations, analytical planning, sample size determination, statistical analysis, and grant application support. We can provide in-depth understanding of how the cancer data is created and how best to work with it to ensure quality and rigour in analysis.
- Data Extraction and Linkages: We facilitate access to and linkage of cancer data to other health administrative databases such as DECIDe, Connect Care, DAD, NACRS, PIN, laboratory data, Vital Statistics, the Alberta Community Health Survey and Statistics Canada. We routinely link to other data sources such as REDCap.
- Data Management: Our experts extract, develop and maintain curated datasets, used for analysis and for developing automated reports using Tableau.
- Reporting: We create and manage a comprehensive suite of Tableau dashboards, delivering timely and sustainable products. Developed through extensive stakeholder engagement, these dashboards aim to transform complex data into actionable insights that support effective decision-making. Additionally, we ensure ongoing submission of cancer reporting metrics to Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services Planning & Performance.
