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.

  • Last Call: Timing control for script-based animations

    The Web Performance Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft of Timing control for script-based animations. This document defines an API web page authors can use to write script-based animations where the user agent is in control of limiting the update rate of the animation. The user agent is in a better position to determine the ideal animation rate based on whether the page is currently in a foreground or background tab, what the current load on the CPU is, and so on. Using this API should therefore result in more appropriate utilization of the CPU by the browser. Comments are welcome through 20 March. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.
