Unisys-Portrait Unite QLD Health Workers
May 2nd, 2006: The Queensland Office of Health Practitioner Registration Boards (OHPRB) has contracted a Unisys-Portrait Software consortium to develop, implement and support an integrated registration system to process and manage practitioner registrations for Queensland’s 13 health practitioner boards.
Using Portrait, Meridio and Microsoft Sharepoint technologies, the new Regulatory Services System will control the business processes and workflow around the registration, health monitoring and complaint management of health practitioners in Queensland.
“A key priority of any health regulator should be to ensure that registered health practitioners treat their patients safely and competently,” says Steve Parker, managing director, Unisys Australia-New Zealand. “The Unisys-Portrait Software e-government solution will provide visibility into the profiles of all operating health practitioners, ensuring the highest standard of medical care is maintained in Queensland.”
The largest integrated solution delivered by Unisys and Portrait Software is London’s Metropolitan Police Command and Control service. That system ensures that staff on the “999” police emergency phone line have immediate access to information needed to co-ordinate and provide assistance. The system helps the Metropolitan Police respond to around 11,000 incidents per day.
According to Jim O'Dempsey, executive officer for the OHPRB, the contract is “...the first step in developing a new system to register Queensland’s health practitioners in fields ranging from medicine and dentistry to pharmacy and speech pathology.”
