Transition to Database Server
CCMDB will eventually outgrow Microsoft Access as a storage format for our Centralized_data.mdb. We are investigating storing the data with Decision Support Services.
Technical considerations
WRHA Department "Analytics & Business Intelligence" has given us access to a database on their database server where we would be able to store our data. The technical groundwork is in place: we can add/edit/remove tables and access them via an MS Access front end through ODBC.
Things that would need to work to get started
One question that remains is:

Administrative and governance considerations |
- What would be the terms and conditions of us using this repository
- who owns the data?
- how will this be funded?
- how do we navigate giving additional people access to the data?
- will we be able to give partial access to data to people? Technically this is obviously possible, but would we be allowed to do this, and if so, would we be allowed to manage this ourselves?
