[FYI request #16699 email] Re: Official Information Act Request – Datix Midland Integrated Quality and Risk System
Kia ora Amy
Thank you for your request for information under the Official Information Act 1982.
After a response was sent to you on Friday 24 September to answer your initial query, further questions
were asked.
The Hauora Tairāwhiti response is as follows:
1. Please clarify as to whether the incident reports submitted into the regional Datix system (all 5
hospitals) are shared on the same server, which is also shared with the Health Quality & Safety
Commissioner?
Te Manawa Taki District Health Boards have their own shared instance of Datix.
2. Where is the server located? If there is more than one server which holds the regional Datix system
reports, where are these servers located?
For security reasons, we will not be commenting on our computer systems at this time.
3. If any of the information from the regional Datix system was leaked from the cyber-attack at
Waikato DHB.
The Datix regional Incident, Quality & Risk system was not impacted as a result of, or during, the Waikato
Security Incident.
If you are not satisfied with this response you may contact the Office of the Ombudsmen, phone 0800 802
602.
Please note this response or an edited version of this response may be published on the Hauora Tairāwhiti
DHB website. Your personal/identifying information will be redacted from any responses published. If you
feel that there are good reasons why your response should not be made publicly available, we will be happy
to consider this.
