Abstract
Canada's healthcare system is experiencing a health and human resource (HHR) crisis. The available evidence of the scope of the problem and potential solutions, however, is not commensurate with the scale and urgency of the crisis. The use of linked health administrative data to study the health, well-being and work patterns of the health workforce offers critical insights into how the workforce is functioning at a population level. Efforts to rapidly expand the use of these data are needed to understand the scope of the HHR crisis, find opportunities for improvement and drive change.
