WORKSHOP: DATA LITERACY ENABLEMENT
Bringing Data Literacy to the Frontlines: Engaging Ambulatory Care in the Value of Socio-Economic Data and Health Equity
Emergency care providers—from paramedics to ER clinicians—are under pressure to act fast, leaving little time for structured data literacy training. Yet these moments offer a unique, often untapped opportunity to capture socio-economic data that can shape more predictive and equitable healthcare systems. It is very challenging to embed data practices into high-intensity environments without slowing down care, while engaging staff, communities, and policymakers in how the data is used. Walk away with tools and insights to:
- Build engagement strategies for frontline staff and leadership around the “why” of data literacy and how to solve frontline challenges in data terms
- Collaborate with communities to identify meaningful, respectful socioeconomic data points
- Align organizational and provincial data efforts to support system-wide predictive planning
- Address policy, governance, and community oversight in the use of emergent health data
Discover how real-time data literacy can transform emergency care from reactive response to proactive population health insight.
