Public sector health analytics capacity before and after Covid-19: A case study of manager perspectives in New Brunswick, Canada.
Article in International journal of population data science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Demand for health data and analytics to support research, policy, and practice continues to rise, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the importance of the government analytics workforce in driving academic-based data sharing and linkage platforms, little is known about how public sector managers assess capacity in health analytics. This case study describes findings from consultations among middle managers of analytics services in a Canadian provincial health ministry. Methods: Data collection involved a mixed-questions survey to gauge the functional perspective of managers on organisational and human resource analytics capacity within the New Brunswick Department of Health. The repeated cross-sectional survey was implemented in two rounds, with a baseline collected before the Covid-19 global outbreak (in 2016) and a follow-up after the pandemic emergency response (in 2022). Results: The post-pandemic period was associated with perceptions of a growing role for public service personnel in handling analytics. Recruitment and retention of skilled analytics professionals emerged as the top priority for capacity building, including needs-based planning, competitive compensation packages to address skills shortages, professional development and promotion opportunities, and tracking key performance indicators for employee satisfaction. Conclusions: Government health analytics professionals play a critical role in advancing administrative data use and re-use. Enhanced knowledge sharing is needed on best practices in supply-demand monitoring for analytics professionals and planning for human resources surge capacity in the public service, lest significant innovation potential for health system improvement be left untapped.
