ROEB primarily uses internal collected data to inform its C&E decisions. With the dawn of the age of the internet and social media, there are numerous success stories in industry that capitalizes on publicly available data to inform business decisions - as the saying goes : data is the new gold. ROEB would like to explore the use of public source of data to further refine, inform, or validate current C&E decisions.
In fulfilling its mandate, ROEB applies a sound and robust risk management approach to decision-making that prioritizes the overall health and safety of Canadians. Risk management tools and Frameworks are further complemented by the data which is available, useful and of good quality. ROEB primarily uses internal collected data to inform its C&E decisions, which is primarily used to:
* Respond to media requests
* Equip Canadians to make informed decisions about their health
* Communicate clear expectations for regulated parties
* Identify areas for improvement
* Inform operational C&E decision-making through identification of trends, emerging issues, and areas of focus
* Measure performance
One of the many challenges ROEB faces when applying risk management framework is the availability of data. For instance for inspections and compliance verification, we rely on inspectors comments and industry completed forms to collect data to inform our decisions. This data is often difficult to work with as it may not meet one or more of the core data properties:
* Relevance and usefulness
* Accuracy
* Timeliness
* Accessibility and clarity
* Comparability
* Consistency
* Completeness
The question becomes: is there a way to further complement the data that ROEB collects to further inform decision making? There are numerous success stories in industry that capitalize on publicly available data to inform business decisions. ROEB would like to explore the use of public source of data to further refine, inform, or validate current C&E decisions.
