The Health Data Platform (HDP) is giving Health NZ access to near real-time data to support insights such as forecasting radiology capacity and demand, tracking high-cost drug usage, and identifying patients at high risk of developing chronic disease.
Other initiatives in the pipeline include; supporting opportunistic vaccination in hospitals; visibility of waiting times for a broad range of diagnostics; and identification of patients with delayed discharge.
HDP is built on Snowflake technology, hosted on Amazon Web Services and integrates various datasets to support clinical decision-making and operational reporting.
