Leading Maori Health IT provider Whānau Tahi has developed new technology facilities to support community and health
care workers track Covid-19 with the click of a button.
Whānau Tahi, New Zealand’s leading provider of connected health and social services, have released the following IT
solutions that are available for immediate deployment to District Health Boards, General Practioners, Pharmacists,
community-based support workers, and Whānau Ora Providers.Covid-19 Response
Community and Whānau Ora providers using the Navigator interface have hot buttons which set the following whānau states
with one click:Covid-19 Self IsolationCovid-19 Symptomatic or DiagnosedCovid-19 HAS pack supplied (Hygiene and Sanitation)
Dashboards, views and including mapping tools provide visibility on the number and location of whānau in the two
categories and/or those that have received hygiene and sanitation packs from North Island Whānau Ora providers. All
health and support workers engaging with whānau will automatically receive alerts of whānau status when accessing or
updating appointments, case notes and or other records.
Clinical workers - primary and secondary care clinicians, pharmacists, and other authorised users - using the Connected
Care interface will have visibility of status information from community and Whānau Ora workers. This would help
clinicians assess proper Covid-19 treatment or advice to be shared with community workers for appropriate follow-up and
care, in locations where that exchange of information is approved.
The primary to secondary interface delivers Covid19 Alerts to DHB services and provides secure communications between
the health service workers.
The Connected Care Patient Portal provides patient self-monitoring and ACP, with family member/support member access.Access
