Live User Group Meeting
Tuesday, November 30 • 1 P.M. ET • Cost: Complimentary
Have you missed going to user group meetings? We know virtual user group meetings won't be able to replace the feeling of being in-person, but we missed you so much we had to do something next best.
Hear from SAS users and what they've been working on. We will have presentations from Jason Flindall and Samantha Magnus from BC Ministry of Health about the Ministry's study to evaluate the direct and indirect effects that the COVID-19 pandemic and our response to it has had on the health care utilization behaviour. As well, Jody Pow from HQCA will focus on data visualization by talking about the Primary Care Panel Reports.
Join us as we connect and learn from each other like old times.
