Welcome to the NT Aboriginal Health KPI Information System Website

The Northern Territory Aboriginal Health Forum (AHF) that comprises representatives from the Commonwealth Department of Health and Aging (DoHA), Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance (AMSANT) and Northern Territory Department of Health & Families (DHF) has been developing a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

The Northern Territory Aboriginal Health Key Performance Indicator Information System (NT AHKPI) site provides information on an exciting collaboration between Northern Territory health services to develop a Northern Territory jurisdiction wide system for reporting key performance indicator data on Aboriginal health.

The goal of the system is to contribute to improving primary health care services for Aboriginal Australians in the Northern Territory by building capacity at the service level and the system level to collect, analyse and interpret data that will:

· Inform understanding of trends in individual and population health outcomes;

· Identify factors influencing these trends; and

· Inform appropriate action, planning and policy development.

Processes for data collection from the various organisations information systems have been defined and developed, and data delivery from all NT community health centres commenced on 1 July 2009.
