ISS partners with Ocean Informatics for ongoing WebQI support

E-mail Print

ISS is pleased to confirm that an agreement with Ocean Informatics has been met with in-principle agreement by Southern Health. The agreement provides for ongoing WebQI support, including backup and cover.

Ocean Informatics (see oceaninformatics.com) is an Australian health informatics company developing a comprehensive tool set for the construction of open interoperable systems for shared electronic health record.

This agreement paves the way to expand the use of WebQI to manage patient information at Southern Health as well as other health services.

 

Disability Advocacy Database Project: IT Scoping

E-mail Print

Intelligent Software and Systems has been commissioned to undertake an IT Scoping Report on behalf of the Office for Disability

The Victorian Government, through the Office for Disability, allocates approximately $2.3 million per annum to the Disability Advocacy Program which funds 20 community organisations to provide individual advocacy, self-advocacy or systemic advocacy, or a mix of all with and for people with a disability, their families and carers where appropriate. Also funded are two resource units, the Disability Advocacy Resource Unit (DARU) and the Self-Advocacy Resource Unit (SARU) to strengthen and support disability advocacy and self-advocacy. Within Victoria, the Office for Disability currently collects data from disability advocacy organisations quarterly and reports to the State and Commonwealth governments.

At both a national and a Victorian state level, there is an identified need to strengthen the disability advocacy sector. One specific area identified for improvement is the data collection systems and processes used by organisations funded for advocacy provision.

In Victoria, to date the data collected through Quarterly Data Collection (QDC) has been minimal, mostly quantitative and has been identified as having a limited capacity to inform policy development, planning, or internal advocacy.

The Office for Disability has undertaken to work to improve and strengthen common reporting and data collection processes to make data collection meaningful and useful without becoming onerous.
 

 

WebQI v.1.7

E-mail Print

WebQI now integrates directly with Active Directory at Southern Health, which means that users can login with the single sign-on that they use for all other applications.

This reduces the number of passwords that have to be memorised and also simplifies the management of users for Southen Health IT.

Other features in v.1.7 include:

  • Self management of Unit access: Users can allocate themselves to any Unit (and hence access that Unit's projects)
  • 'Start new patient' expand function now displays a read only version of previous records, allowing easy access to all previous records from the same page.

 

 

Southern Health selects WebQI for Clinical Audit

E-mail Print

ISS is pleased to announce that it has been selected by Southern Health to develop, implement and deploy WebQI for provision of an online procedural clinical audit system.

Operating across all five sites at Southern Health, WebQI will provide a means for the clinicians of each of the participating Units with a range of clinical audit functionality. WebQI will be available to Southern Health clinicians from any internet-connected PC, through secure encrypted transmission of all communications and operations.

The core functionality made available will include :

  •  Data entry specific to the needs of each Unit.
  • A range of patient, patient cohort and peer group reporting.

ISS was chosen as the result of an open competitive tender evaluation conducted by Southern Health: “Provision, installation and maintenance of an information system to support clinical audit”.

Starting development in November 2009, initial Unit deployments are expected in early 2010. Southern Health is Victoria’s largest health service, with five sites, over 70 Units and 500 users for whom clinical audit is of importance.

  • Workshop Report: Data and Services Integration

    W3C today published the report of the Workshop on Data and Services Integration, hosted on 20-21 October 2011 by MITRE in Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. This workshop provided a way for the community to meet and discuss some of the challenges of integration of heterogeneous data and services. With the emergence of the Web, the need for reusing data and services has become even stronger as the number of available services has grown. Different services stacks now exist from Web Services to Cloud-based services. One goal of this workshop was to figure out the needs in the domain of integration that would benefit from standardization, or where discussion via Community or Business Groups could gather a critical mass.

    The participants came to the conclusion that solutions to the data integration issues can be the result of better integration of tools helping going cross-stacks. They also discussed how to architect RESTful services in the enterprise, with a plan to create a group to work on Linked Data Patterns, specifically REST-based patterns on RDF and other formats.

  • Incubator Group Report: Media Analysis Management Interface

    The Media Analysis Management Interface Incubator Group published its final report, Media Analysis Management Interface XG Final Report. The Media Analysis Management Interface (MAMI) enables the understanding of the real world at a low cost by using analysis engines such as video image processing engines, sensor data analysis engines, and so on. It also enables various services to be easily provided, such as physical security, environmental load reduction, and intelligent accessibility services. The MAMI Incubator Group described the requirements of the MAMI and six use cases in three fields: energy saving, video surveillance, and operational improvement. The Incubator Group expects to collaborate with other W3C working groups, in particular the Multimodal Interaction Working Group.

    This publication is part of the Incubator Activity. This work is not on the W3C standards track.

  • Group Note: MMI interoperability test report
