Term: Administrative Health Data

Glossary Definition

Last Updated: 2013-07-08

Definition:

Administrative health data is generated through the routine administration of health care programs. Administrative health databases, developed by provincial governments as a result of universal medical care insurance, are designed to collect and store this type of data. The administrative health data housed at MCHP contain de-identified records for virtually all contacts with the Manitoba provincial health care system, including physicians, hospitals, personal care homes, home care, and pharmaceutical prescriptions. See the Administrative Data glossary term for additional information.

See the Administrative Health Data concept for more information on administrative health data.
