Bringing together and analysing data from multiple sources

This category focuses on the datasets themselves and their merging and analyses. This could incorporate secondary use/reuse of health data, routinely collected administrative data, or other emerging sources of data. Here is where we delve into scientific developments (data linkage, analytical advances, methods advancements etc.)
