Page History

The organisations currently using PAT CAT have expressed interest in sharing data across their catchment boundaries. This functionality will be particularly useful to compare indicators across organisation and other organisation catchments and/or state borders. To enable data sharing without PEN CS becoming a data custodian we have expanded the PCS Network to handle the PAT CAT Network data travel. PCS Network does not store any data from the individual organisations using PAT CAT, but rather stores the details of the direct data connections, i.e. who sends what to who. Organisations are required to register to the PAT CAT Network through the PCS Network before they can share and view data. Only Super Admins can register to the PAT CAT Network. 

• PCS Network does not store Patient Data
• PCS Network will only store Channel related data
• Data sharing is done directly between PAT CATs
• The value and percentage part of the data is to be encrypted
• Data transmission only through SSL
• Data sharing is only within the scope of the connected channel
• organisation can only look at other PCN data for selected month
• Consent / Opt-In process for organisation must be captured remotely on Pen Server
