Core Indicator Resources
APHEO developed the Core Indicators Project in collaboration across the field of public health to support standardized measures for population health assessment in Ontario. Core Indicators provide clear methodology to measure the complex concepts of health of individuals and communities. The following project resources include supporting documentation such as data source metadata, issue tracking, OPHS alignment, shared syntax and methodological references.
