DATA LINKAGE

Data Linkage Services are working for the Western Australian community by putting linked data at the core of decision-making and research... The Data Linkage team manages the WA Data Linkage System (WADLS) used to create, store, update and extract links between population-based administrative and research data collections in WA. Linked data delivered through this infrastructure is used extensively in WA to support approved research, policy development, quality improvement activities, service planning and evaluation... The WA Data Linkage System was formally established in 1995 as a collaboration between the Department of Health WA, the University of Western Australia (UWA), Telethon Kids Institute (then the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research) and Curtin University.
