Implementation of SCTT 2009 in systems

The official start of use date for the Service Coordination Tool Templates (SCTT) 2009, the latest version of the SCTT, for agencies working within the health and human services sectors was July 1 2009.

To assist agencies to know how their client management systems and electronic referral systems support the SCTT 2009 the Department of Health undertook a vendor survey.

All vendors of client management systems and electronic referral systems used by agencies working within the health and human services sectors were encouraged to complete the vendor survey. Responses to the vendor survey are below.

2006-07 e-Referral Capacity Building Through Primary Care Partnerships - Summary report

Overview

The aim of the 2006-07 e-Referral Capacity Building through Primary Care Partnerships funding round was to extend e-referral implementation in PCP member organizations. With a near doubling in both the volume of e-referrals and the number of services participating in referral it is evident that this has been achieved.

The Primary Health Branch is continuing to work with a range of stakeholders – including DHS program areas, General Practice Victoria, Australian Institute of Primary Care, and the National E-Health Transition Authority – to manage the continuous improvement of the SCTT tools and to support their use in a developing electronic environment. This work is being overseen by the department’s E-referral Victoria Board.

This report provides a summary of the work undertaken and the achievements made as part of the 2006-07 e-Referral Capacity Building through Primary Care Partnerships funding round.
