Data Linkage Webinar Series with PHRN

This 2019 webinar series:

• introduces clinical trial researchers to the PHRN’s facilities and services
• demonstrates the benefits of using linked data in clinical trials research
• helps clinical trial researchers to design trials using linked data.

Data Linkage and Population Health Research Network (PHRN)

Data linkage brings together records from different data collections related to the same individual. It’s something to strive for because it’s cost effective, more thorough and allows for greater follow up.

These webinars were supported by the ARDC and developed by the Australian Clinical Trials Alliance, and Australia’s national data linkage network, the Population Health Research Network (PHRN).  

The PHRN collates existing health data from around the nation to make it available for research purposes. To date, its infrastructure has not been widely used by clinical trials researchers.
