The aim is to support an integrated model of care, whilst minimizing waste and duplication, and whist safeguarding patient privacy. One way of achieving this involves moving services that are similar in nature to the same shared information system. A logical choice for this would be MedTech 32 for all providers working in IFHCs, probably provided over the West Coast DHB developed PrISM system, as it is already well established on the West Coast. The system needn‟t be owned and hosted by the DHB; it has been developed in a way that allows it to be transferred to another provider such as the PHO or an IFHC in the future. Complete Population To be of the greatest benefit, an electronic health record needs to include all health activity provided by all health providers. With this in mind, plans have been developed to make the West Coast DHB PrISM system available to other providers, so that all relevant health information can be available when and where it is required for patient care. Self Service Access A logical next step beyond developing an integrated electronic health record is to provide access for people to see their own health information and so that they can provide updates for changes of address or provide any new health information, (such as diabetes patients entering home blood tests).

Security An individual‟s health information is a taonga – it has great value and is sacred to them. It is therefore essential to ensure that health information is secure and that a patient's wishes are adhered to regarding its availability. Resilient Health Information Systems need to be resilient to external factors such as a localised disaster, so that critical information is available to those who legitimately need it wherever and whenever it is required, regardless of the challenges involved in ensuring its availability. Improving Data Quality Health information systems are large complex IT systems with numerous users and complex information flows. Data needs to be accurate and reliable as incorrect data can dramatically impact on a patients wellbeing. Continuous quality improvement philosophies need to be applied in order to ensure that the risk of error is minimized. Implementation plan: to June 30 Within primary/community care Begin the process of identifying the requirements for sharing clinical notes on MedTech in a single clinical file used by all health providers in the IFHC. Understand and, as necessary, re-negotiate reporting requirements for community nursing & allied health. Between primary and secondary Establish access for all medical centres to HealthViews, through the DHB's PRiSM system. Co-ordination with ED acute care install a copy of MedTech on a computer in ED change patient registration form/casualty sheet on arrival to include consent for access to their MedTech notes for that hospital visit ensure privacy considerations are met obtain agreement from practices create link into DHB practice server. Patient access to information Publicise Health Navigator patient self management website – for providers and community, eg. pamphlet in prescription bags for (see also LTC workstream) Create link to Community & Public Health website on PHO website, (see also Keeping people healthy workstream).
