About the Aspire Strategic Data Advisory Council
The Ontario Chiropractic Association (OCA) established the Aspire Strategic Data Advisory Council to guide the profession’s transition to the use of data collected through a modern, outcomes-focused data platform while advancing chiropractic research and care in Ontario.
Council members explore how collective data insights from Aspire – OCA’s leading electronic health record and practice management software – can be used for standardizing data in the profession, building longitudinal datasets, generating real-world insight into chiropractic care, and translating information into knowledge and meaningful advocacy.
The council’s mandate is to:
• Support planning efforts that guide governance and ethical data use;
• Recommend research and education priorities; and
• Ensure alignment with patient-centred values and professional integrity.
