Have your say, Facilitators and Barriers to Sharing Health Data
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this linkWith the recent implementation of the PIP-QI, the upcoming development of the National Data Storage and Analytical System (NDSAS), the roll out of the My health Record and the various COVID-19 apps; General Practitioners are routinely asked to participate and share their practice data; often without being consulted on these important topics.
In an attempt to have your voice heard, you are invited to participate in a brief anonymous survey that provides General Practitioners the opportunity to voice their expert opinion on the future usage of health care data for improving patient quality and supporting general practice in the pursuit of data integrity and sovereignty.
Please click on the following link to take the survey or copy and paste the link http://j.mp/2T0BMJk into your browser
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Richard Varhol from the Curtin University on either 9266-3495 or rvarhol@curtin.edu.au
