The power of data to enable collective action
Dr. Shirley Sze
COVID-19 has brought public respect and gratitude back to our profession. With daily evidenced informed briefings backed by credible data, government and the Canadian public can understand why physicians do what they do. Robust data makes it possible to highlight resource capacity and deficiencies, and show how collectively we can change the trajectory of a potentially deadly pandemic. Progress can be compared nationally and internationally in a timely manner.
