Background
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is the federal lead for public health surveillance. As this mandate requires the collection, analysis, interpretation, publication and distribution of information relating to public health, the extent of the Agency’s surveillance data holdings is significant. The Agency currently has more than 50 surveillance programs and data holdings which will benefit from a more streamlined, strategic approach to data management. The Agency will also benefit from clarifying its data sharing practices and linkages within the Agency and the Government of Canada and with its external partners. Consequently, one of the four strategic objectives of the PHAC Surveillance Strategic Plan 2013-2016 (PSSP2) is to build a corporate model for data management and technology. This contract therefore aims to have a strategic analysis undertaken to determine how the Agency can streamline the number of software systems housing data holdings, enhance opportunities for linkages across data holdings to better leverage the data, and heighten data quality and security.
Scope of Work
The project includes the assessment and analysis of PHAC’s current and future requirements for surveillance data management and associated architectures, and includes amongst its deliverables, a “roadmap” for the Agency to follow in implementing both.
The Roadmap must consider Government of Canada strategic directions with respect to data management, application architecture, data security, as well as Health Portfolio (Health Canada and PHAC) approved software and toolsets.
The key components of the project are; (1) Data Management Framework and Roadmap; (2) PHAC Data Acquisition Strategy, and (3) Corporate Data Architecture. The Agency requires a team of three (3) resources composed of a Project Executive (level 3), a Business Transformation Architect (level 3) and an Enterprise Architect (level 3) to assist with the design, development and implementation of these underlying components.
