Data Centres in the Maritime Provinces
Administrative health data in the Maritimes is accessed through provincial data centres: DataNB (New Brunswick), Health Data Nova Scotia (Nova Scotia), and the Secure Island Data Repository (Prince Edward Island). While MSSU does not operate these centres, we work closely with them and help fund staff who support data access and patient-oriented research across the region. Researchers can meet with a data navigator from any of the data centres to discuss:
- Research questions
- What data is available
- Whether the project is feasible
- Required forms and approvals
- Privacy or consent considerations
