    Regional profiling and needs assessment

    To support our approach to population health planning, we analyse and interpret a wide range of data, topics and variables. 

    This forms our Population Health Profile, which shows the health and social profile of our region.

    Access the After-Hours, CALD, and Homelessness Needs Assessment here.

    These insights are then translated with the needs of community, stakeholders and health professionals to develop our Needs Assessment. To find out more, contact us.

    Sentinel Practices Data Sourcing (SPDS) project

    We believe data collected during patient visits to their general practitioner (GP) has great potential for regional population health and service planning.

    To explore this, we are studying ways of using electronic health records data for primary care planning. This work is called the Sentinel Practices Data Sourcing (SPDS) project, and has been ongoing since 2013.
