Over the last five years, Extensia personnel have
undertaken a number of activities in the health industry, including:
HealthConnect: The Brisbane Southside HealthConnect Trial (BSHCT) was a
collaboration between the Australian Government Department of
Health and Ageing, Queensland Health, the General Practice
Computing Group and Brisbane-based DSTC, which focused on
improving health care for consumers with diabetes mellitus - a
non-transmissible chronic disease with disabling complications
that are difficult to treat. The objective of this trial was to
demonstrate a reference implementation of an end-to-end
electronic health record (EHR) system, integrated with
Queensland Health's information network and participating
health care provider systems. The trial system used RecordPoint, which was based on a publicly
available, standards and archetype-based EHR architecture -
openEHR.
Coordinated Care Trials: The DSTC was involved in
systems and data design activities for the Brisbane North
Division of General Practice’s first Coordinated Care Trial,
called TeamCare, which studied the impact of coordinating the
delivery of healthcare services to elderly patients in Brisbane
North.
