Another Railway System?

Will public health information tracks converge or divide?

The Major Trunk Routes

  • National Public Health Information Development Plan
  • Infrastructure for information development and implementation

NPHP/NPHIWG NHIMG

Details of the route map

Four major stations:

  • Health status (and health outcomes/health gain)
  • Health determinants
  • Public health products

Identification of priority populations

Local Drivers

Priorities and emphases differ, driven by local needs

  • geography
  • environmental conditions/weather
  • population distribution
  • industrial base/goods

Roads and airports compete in different ways

Standard Gauge or Multiple Gauges?

  • How much compatibility?
  • What are the elements of a system that we should make compatible?

Commonwealth/Australian National Railways

Australian Bureau Of Statistics

  • National Health Surveys
  • Population Estimates
  • Governments Expenditures
  • Etc

ABS has been around for a long time and is unlikely to be split up and sold as ANR was.

State/Territory/Railways

Local CATI Survey Vehicles

Common look and feel

Benefits can cross borders

Interchanges

  • Interlink capacities of survey systems
  • Data Linkage

Tool Kits - A Common Metric System
