What did Divisions achieve in 2006-2007?

On-line reporting makes the display of results direct and timely. You can easily find the results of Divisions' activities on the PHC RIS website. At present, results are available for 107 Divisions.

Using the national indicators on Childhood Immunisation as an example, according to the Indicator Calculator for the N_IMM 2.1, 107 Divisions reported that 75.7% of their 6513 practices were registered with the General Practice Immunisation Incentives (GPII) scheme. This raises questions about the remaining practices. A quick scan of the indicator viewer shows that the unregistered practices:

• were recently established
• were in areas of shared postcodes and appear on other Divisions reports
• were satellite sites, where the main practice is registered for the scheme
• were solo practitioners with no nurses and were generally not accredited
• had small numbers of children in the practice.

Almost half of the 4040 practices for which data were available, transferred at least some immunisation data electronically. Most of the others transferred data by paper, and only 6% did not transfer data in any format, as shown in the table below.

Do browse this site, see what you can find out about your area of interest, and let us know how we can improve the display. See www.phcris.org.au/dios/displayReport0607.php?diosDst=home.
