Example 1

This is an example timeframe of a PHA request involving one dataset sourced from within the SSB.  This example includes approval as well as linkage time.  It represents a relatively simple linkage request and approval process.

Example 2

A PHA application with three datasets accessed from the SSB Master Linkage File and one dataset external to Queensland Health.

Example 3

A PHA application with three datasets accessed from the SSB Master Linkage File and five external datasets

Example 4

A consent request with two datasets accessed from the SSB Master Linkage File and five external datasets.
