It does this by:

  • improving safety and outcomes
  • expediting service delivery

The system was built as part of an integrated health care solution, the Electronic Knowledge and Information Data System (eKIDS).

The CDIS works with both outdated and new applications and can be tailored to fit your information requirements and workflow preferences.

Within a reliable and secure centralised database, functionality includes:

  • tracking client activity
  • service and history recording
  • referral workflow
  • appointment and clinical availability scheduling
  • clinical assessment
  • treatment and review
  • detailed reporting.

CDIS is compatible with existing technology and infrastructure, streamlines data collection, includes flexible reporting, and enables enhanced communication between key stakeholders and healthcare professionals, leading to happier and healthier families.This leads to happier and healthier families.
