Collecting Patient Registration Information Training Program

Summary

The capacity to report on issues such as health status, service use and access to services for Aboriginal people is totally reliant on one factor - the ability to accurately identify Aboriginal clients.

The objectives of the Collecting Patient Registration Information Training Program
are to enable staff to identify the importance of collecting accurate and complete information, raise awareness of data items that may be difficult to collect and review some strategies that may be used when dealing with difficult situations.

Health staff who undertake the training will be able to confidently ask all questions required at patient registration and understand the importance of obtaining information on Aboriginal status.

The Collecting Patient Registration Information Training Program has been developed based on the Training Program for Health Staff Collecting Patient Registration Information developed by the NSW Department of Health and supersedes the version released in 2000. Resources developed by Queensland Health and the Australian Bureau of Statistics and have also been incorporated into this program.
