Biography

Kim Nuernberger is a program consultant for the Canadian Institute of Health Information (CIHI) Western Office. She brings to this course more than 10 years of experience as a health data analyst, much of it working with large administrative health data sets. Her experience spans a broad range of health service issues covering the life course, and representing everything from contraception to the provision and delivery of appropriate long-term care services. A strong advocate of lifelong learning, Kim completed a Master of Arts in Sociology from the University of Victoria (UVic) in 2005 and solidified her skills in health research through completion of the Professional Specialization Certificate in Population Health Data Analysis.

Most recently she has been involved in a collaborative project involving researchers based at UVic and the Fraser Health Authority examining patterns and predictors of long-term care use through administrative and clinical data. This project has involved extensive use of SAS and other statistical software to link anonymized data sets and employ a wide variety of statistical techniques.
