Privacy concerns

Thursday, September 04, 2014

The National Rural Health Alliance Inc held its 4th Rural and Remote Health Scientific Symposium in Canberra on 2-3 September 2014. Rural and remote health researchers attending the symposium were given valuable insights into the availability and use of national health data sets from Australian Government departments and agencies. Researchers and speakers contributed to discussions and considered how data linkage works to ensure protection of the privacy of individuals while allowing opportunities for improved understanding of health service access and delivery across Australia.
