The Federal DoH HDP will replace the OCHREStreams portal exclusively from December 2018, and has extra features as well as being better designed.  The Federal Department of Health will be basing Health Services “Indigenous Australians’ Health Programme Funding Model” on data received from the June 2018 to July 2019 reports, so it will be important to have this all running smoothly.

There will be Face-2-Face training provided in Darwin and Alice Springs. This will consist of a 3 Hour session covering Administration of roles, uploading and the process of review and exception reports, approvals etc., and also some coverage of the built-in Dashboard which looks good so far!

AMSANT are welcoming suggestions from you about what could be a second half-day topic we could run, to make it worthwhile to attend? So far a couple of people have suggested that another session on the “Microsoft Power BI” Analytics and Graphing software that can be used with Communicare to create Dashboards and report information might be good?

The tentative dates are currently Wed 13th June in Alice and Thursday 14th June in Darwin, most likely in the AMSANT offices. There will be a maximum attendee limit of 20. Please let us know if you are interested in attending and how many from your service.
