Australasian WebEOC Users Group Meeting

Preceding the Health Sector Reference Group a number of Australasian WebEOC users are going to meet on Monday 24 August to discuss issues around interoperability, best practice, training and WebEOC development.

Whilst the current economic climate has made travel difficult for agencies I really hope that some of the Australian agencies will be able to make it, but we should still have confirmed attendance from Maritime NZ, Auckland City Council and Ministry of Health.

One of the key discussion points will be on interoperability and sharing common operating picture. There are a range of ways to achieve this and over the last 3 months Health have added log ons at various levels to nearly 100 agencies in order to better share data around the pandemic response however there are also smarter ways to work with database to database links. With that in mind we'd welcome attendance from other agencies who have an EMIS capability or are looking at acquiring one in order to ensure interoperability between agencies in the future.
