Résumé :

Thesis (MTech (Information Technology))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016.<br>Health information policies are constantly becoming a key feature in directing information usage in healthcare. After the passing of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act in 2009 and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) passed in 2010, in the United States, there has been an increase in health systems innovations. Coupling this health systems hype is the current buzz concept in Information Technology, „Big data‟. The prospects of big data are full of potential, eve

Résumé :

POD (Point of Dispensing)-based emergency response plans involving mass prophylaxis may seem feasible when considering the choice of dispensing points within a region, overall population density, and estimated traffic demands. However, the plan may fail to serve particular vulnerable sub-populations, resulting in access disparities during emergency response. Federal authorities emphasize on the need to identify sub-populations that cannot avail regular services during an emergency due to their special needs to ensure effective response. Vulnerable individuals require the targeted allocation of

[Truncated abstract] The primary aims of this thesis were to investigate health indicators of child maltreatment, as well as pathways into the child protection system using routinely collected government databases, enabling a preventative health approach to child abuse and neglect. This thesis aims to improve understanding of the trends in child maltreatment and the factors, at the child and family level, which increase or reduce vulnerability to child maltreatment so more effective prevention policies and practices can be developed.

Integrating data across all sources in a health care network would be useful to public health surveillance and provide a complete view of how the overall network is performing. Because of the lack of standardization for a common data model across organizations, matching identities between different locations in order to link and aggregate records is difficult.

Within the theoretical framework of this study it is recognized that a very large amount of real-world facts and geospatial data are collected and stored. Decision makers cannot consider all the available disparate raw facts and data. Problem-specific variables, including complex geographic identifiers have to be selected from this data and be validated. The problems associated with environmental- and public-health data are that (1) geospatial components of the data are not considered in analysis and decision making process, (2) meaningful geospatial patterns and clusters are often overlooked,

Résumé :

Canadian public health agencies have a mandate to monitor the prevalence, incidence and patterns of chronic disease. These agencies are increasingly using administrative health data for these purposes. However, valid use of administrative data for chronic disease surveillance requires an understanding of some inherent limitations. Health-selective migration, which occurs when people migrate differentially by health status, is a limitation that has not been estimated in administrative data sources. To investigate this issue, we estimated health-selective migration in a cohort of systemic lupu

Résumé :

The potential for using the case-control design with only hospital separation records was explored in a study of ectopic pregnancy. The Saskatchewan Hospital Services Commission hospital morbidity database was used. Cases were women hospitalized for ectopic pregnancy in the years 1984 through 1986. Controls were women hospitalized for any other pregnancy condition. In a case-control study using pregnant controls, the odds ratio is an appropriate estimator of relative risk, conditional on conception. Among the potential risk factors (exposures) represented in the data were tubal surgery, prior

Résumé :

<p> A review of literature suggests that train derailments are a statistically relevant concern. While not all train derailments involve hazardous materials, those that do release chemicals pose a public health threat. This study challenges the decision-making mainstay tool of the hazardous materials response community – the <i>Emergency Response Guidebook</i> (ERG) – and its default strategy of evacuation through quantitative research that evaluates data from train derailments involving the release of hazardous materials. It explores whether there are correlations between a derail
