PHIOnline is being re-launched following the success of the pilot version, with improved functionality and more health information available. Information will now be provided at the Territorial Local Authority level (where available) as well as DHB level. This will allow for visualisation of variability within each DHB. This additional capacity is aimed at the information requirements of the health sector and will:
- Aid local agencies to achieve their desired health outcomes
- Aid Local Authorities and health providers to fullfil their responsibilities under the Local Government Act 2001
- Reduce cost of information dissemination and make government information more easily available, with a greater reach to a wider audience
The web interface provides a multidimensional view of data through linked maps, charts, graphs and tables. Data is presented by total population, Mäori, Non-Mäori, Pacific (where possible). Datasets included on the site are:
- Routine Hospitalisation, Mortality and Incidence collections
- NZ Health Survey data
- Oral Health
- Get Checked Diabetes
- Problem Gambling
- Suicide and Self-harm
