CIHI’s Canadian Organ Replacement Register (CORR) is the existing national database that collects data and reports statistics to track long-term trends for dialysis, organ donation and transplantation (ODT) and wait-list statistics. CORR currently collects data from dialysis programs, transplant programs and organ donation organizations to track patients from their first treatment for end-stage organ failure (dialysis or transplantation) to their death.

Using this data, CORR produces in-depth reports and analyses on long-term trends for organ transplantation, organ donation and dialysis in Canada. This pan-Canadian comparative data can be used to enhance treatment, patient care and research.

CIHI and Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) are co-leading a multi-year project funded by Health Canada to develop a modernized pan-Canadian ODT data and performance reporting system. The project aims to support improvements in ODT access, care and outcomes across Canada. Project goals and outcomes include the deployment of technology solutions, system integrations, pan-Canadian data standards, indicators, system-level performance reporting and — in fall 2023 — the launch of CIHI’s newest data holding, the Canadian ODT Data System (CanODT). Project activities and outcomes will be achieved through collaborations with provincial and territorial ministries of health, health organizations, clinicians, researchers, patients, families, donors and the ODT community.

The Canadian Organ Replacement Register (CORR) is the existing national database that provides statistics to track long-term trends for dialysis activity, organ transplantation, organ donation and wait-list statistics. CORR collects data from hospital dialysis programs, transplant programs, organ donation organizations (ODOs) and independent health facilities to track patients from their first treatment for end-stage organ failure (dialysis or transplantation) to their death.

CIHI is building a new pan-Canadian ODT data repository as part of the CIHI-Infoway co-led ODT Data Project. Select ODT indicators may also use data from additional sources, such as the Discharge Abstract Database metadata (DAD), which captures administrative, clinical and demographic information on hospital discharges.
