Toronto Community Health Services Database Inventory

Earlier in the year, the Toronto District Health Council (TDHC), in
partnership with the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Community and
Social Services, the United Way of Toronto, Metro Community Services,
Toronto Public Health, and the Community Information Centre of Toronto,
established a project to explore current information/database sources
re: community health services planning data for the Toronto area.  The
project was led by the Community Health Services Database Committee made
up of database representatives from the partnering agencies and staffed
by a TDHC planner.

A main objective of the Committee was to gain a clearer understanding of
the scope and variety of community health service information/database
sources currently available and the subsequent strengths and limitations
of these sources.  The Committee developed an Inventory (DECEMBER 1998)
that provides an overview of the scope of information sources currently
in existence with respect to community health services - the Inventory
could be described as 'Information on Information' Sources.

If you would like more information on this project or would like a copy
