The ATDC has released the second (and complete) draft of the Data Sharing Options Paper has been released to treatment providers and government stakeholders for comment.

The final version will be prepared based on comment and feedback, and presented in February to the Tasmanian Department of Health and Primary Health Tasmania for their acceptance and consideration of our recommendations.

The ATDC recommends that:

• a data repository is implemented.
• minor enhancements be made to existing Clinical Information Systems (CIS).
• a CIS is licensed for shared use by service providers, that can be adopted in place of existing systems.

Comments, queries and other feedback on the options and paper are welcome by phone or email.

A summary version of the Options Paper is available here.
Please contact scott@atdc.org.au on 6231 5002 for further information or a copy of the Options Paper.
