Talks Descriptions:

A Python platform was developed to transform, cleanse and blend various healthcare service databases to allow for a detailed and dynamic view of the Continuing Care sector in the province. Further building on these efforts, DHW ran logistic regression models to assess how multiple health, demographic and social dimensions influence the transition of client into and across Home Care and Long Term Care services.
