Provide evaluation services for the Tasmanian HealthConnect Trial.
HealthConnect is a proposal for an Australian wide electronic health records
system aimed at improving the quality and accessibility of health information.
The evaluation will involve a range of data collection, analysis and reporting
activities of both a qualitative and quantitative nature.
The Tasmanian Trial will involve adults with diabetes from the Clarence
municipality, their general practitioners, the Royal Hobart Hospital and Hobart
Pathology. The Tasmanian Trial forms a key plank in the overall national
HealthConnect research and evaluation effort, as one of only two trials to test
the HealthConnect concept in 2002/3.
