in a timely, transparent and effective manner. The review shall: investigate the extent and, where possible, the root cause or causes of the current data integrity issues; establish revised governance processes and protocols for data management, reporting and analysis; develop a framework for the provision of essential data reports derived directly from source systems as an interim process; determine a framework for the rebuilding of the ACT Health data warehouse, reporting and analysis systems and functions; provide a detailed road map to address existing recommendations from the Auditor-General and ACT Health external advisers; and provide advice on the publication of data for consumers that enables improved understanding of ACT Health information, performance, quality and safety, including options for real-time provision of information.
To oversight the system-wide review, a review panel is being established which will provide regular updates as this work progresses. The review panel will meet regularly and consist of core ACT Health executive staff; the Shared Services ICT Chief Technology Officer; the Chief Executive Officer of the National Health Funding Body; and the Senior Executive, Hospitals, Resourcing and Classifications Group from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
This panel will provide a balance of advice and oversight from internal and external experts. Through the director-general’s regular meetings with the Australian Medical Association, Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation, Capital Health Network, Healthcare Consumers Association of the ACT and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, the director-general will keep the relevant stakeholders apprised of progress against the review. The Health Directorate will also regularly brief the Auditor-General on progress against the review. As agreed with the Assembly I will provide regular progress reports to ensure that we maintain transparency and independence across the review process.
Before concluding today, I want to emphasise that this work is about delivering robust quality assurance of ACT Health’s data governance systems to resolve these issues. I also want to make very clear that improving ACT Health’s data quality processes is a priority for this government, and we will continue to be open with the community and our key health stakeholders about progress in these matters. I present the following copy of the statement and the terms of reference:
