Reporting models developed by the Office for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (OATSIH).
OCHREStreams
OCHREStreams is the Online Community Health Reporting Environment for Health Services that receive Government funding through OATSIH.The OCHREStreams secure web portal was set up as part of Government Reporting Reform aimed to reduce the burden of reporting for health services that provide primary healthcare and other services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. When Health Services use their Patient Information Recall System (PIRS) in conjunction with the PEN Clinical Audit Tool (CAT), health services are able to extract and submit reporting data electronically to OCHREStreams.
OCHREStreams also supports health services’ own quality improvement activities, independent of program and indicator reporting to improve client health outcomes. These activities can take place locally, or in collaboration with other health services, peak organisations or research bodies, at the discretion of the services.
OATSIH funded Health Services currently provide reporting data via OCHREStreams:
- Annually in July for the On-line Services Report (OSR); and
- Six monthly in January and July for national Key Performance Indicators (nKPIs).
