PWHS successfully implemented an infrastructure refresh of its computer systems, which was funded by State Government.

Video “Aboriginal Health Workers and Chronic Disease Management” sponsored by the Australian Government Department of Health & Aging in collaboration with Rural Health Education Foundation features staff from Pika Wiya Health Service.

 

Memorandum of Understandings have been achieved between Northern and Far Western Division of GP’s, CYHS & Spencer Gulf Rural Health School and Caring Communities Project.

In an effort to provide a better and more timely service, Pika Wiya Health Service opted to centralize its client database.  Pika Wiya’s Information, Communications Technology Services section, in collaboration with the Department of Health, identified, prioritised and prepared business cases with a focus of migrating to a Thin Client Terminal Server Farm solution for its data management.  

This included upgrades to LAN and WAN environments for its Outreach Clinics.  The new infrastructure, with some further enhancements and accurate input of client data, will give medical staff the ability to keep tabs on all treatments regardless of where they occur.
