WCMICS Data Central is a web accessible data warehouse provided by the WCMICS Directorate. As a part of this service, we currently provide reports based on VAED data. In addition we provide analytical and reporting services using a range of tools including a mapping software tool (Map Intelligence Excel Client - Click here to view sample report).

These services provide an opportunity for clinicians and managers to compare healthcare delivery and patient loads across services in the region. So far we have provided the following reports.

• Breast Service Projection Report 2006-07 to 2015-16 for Western Health. This report provided the Western Health Breast Service with projected growth in Breast cancer patients and Breast cancer specific procedures up to 2015-16 FY. This report will assist Western Health in planning and managing the projected increase in patient load. VAED data report for Tumour Groups.

• The WCMICS Directorate has provided a report based on the VAED data set for the 2002-03 to 2006-07 FY's for a number of tumour groups. These reports were presented at the relevant tumour group meetings. Click here to view sample report.

• The WCMICS Directorate has also provided data (based on the VAED dataset) on preferred languages of patients for a number of health services. This data has helped services to translate patient information into the most widely used languages. WCMICS Data Central also provides reports (based on VAED data) that are customizable based on user preference. These customized reports can be accessed by logging in using the Members Login section to the left of this page.

We have provided a username and password to increasing numbers of staff in the region as we roll out this service to cover all WCMICS tumour groups and sites. For more information about our reporting services and Data Central please contact Rajesh Sharma (rajesh.sharma@wcmics.org or 9656 2785)
