Overview

To support the ability of Primary Care Partnerships and local communities to develop Community Health Plans, the Department commissioned a Public Health Research Project on the use of population data for planning. Selecting and Accessing Population Data: An Information Resource has been developed to assist Primary Care Partnerships in accessing data to identify priority health issues in the community. It should be read as a companion document to Integrated Service Planning: Interim Guidelines, which sets out interim policy guidelines for Integrated Service Planning by Primary Care Partnerships.

The Information Resource presents a matrix to navigate the numerous data sources related to population health and wellbeing. It will assist Primary Care Partnerships in using data to develop an understanding of their communities’ needs and planning better targeted and coordinated services to improve client outcomes.
