Overview:
This 6 hour, online workshop is based around the “Data types in healthcare” series of bite-size videos which is coming soon to the Futures platform. Please note that this workshop is in its early planning stages and content may be subject to change.
During this workshop, we will walk through some of the opportunities and issues facing researchers and analysts when dealing with the range of data types available. There will be an opportunity for group discussions and individual questions about the use of data types. A case study will be used to show how data types can be used together. Attendees will then be challenged to create a plan to use multiple data types to meet the needs of a fictitious health data research project.
