The goal of this session is to answer your questions regarding how researchers, students and data partners can engage with HDNS and take advantage of all they have to offer. In this seminar we will provide an overview of the data services available at Health Data Nova Scotia (HDNS). This will include information about the data available at HDNS, how to submit a data access request, what happens after a data request is approved and more. We will also discuss the data access process when applying for data from multiple provinces at once.
