The Ministry of Health hosted the second meeting of Australian and New Zealand WebEOC users in Wellington which was well attended by representatives from Auckland City Council, Maritime Zealand, Qantas and the Ministry, as well a number of agencies considering whether they require an emergency management system, or who may work with agencies that already have WebEOC.
The focus of this meeting was on best practice, board sharing and a review of process and workflow amongst agencies that have or may be implementing WebEOC in the near future and followed on from an initial meeting held in Canberra last year hosted by the Australian Attorney General's Department that examined interoperability across agencies.
In addition to learning agency capability and WebEOC customisation that had been undertaken, there were opportunities identified to better leverage the WebEOC capability across agencies including the development of an agreed data dictionary and standardised data fields for position logs and sit-reps to facilitate dual-committing data as well as some future multi-agency boards to share information at the border.
Fred Wilson (Auckland City Council) also outlined approaches to board design best practice and a draft document has been posted to the WebEOC Community forum.
The outcomes of this meeting and future developments including the agreed WebEOC field names will be posted to a regional forum on the WebEOC community.
