The Health Statistics Centre (HSC) has a key role in enabling the organisation's performance to be monitored and measured so that patient and service outcomes can be improved, and in encouraging the use of information in decision-making.
The HSC is integral in ensuring a culture of transparency and openness in reporting and decision making, by publishing public reports and providing data to enable national and international benchmarking of performance and outcomes.
The Centre services central policy, planning, performance and evaluation, and provides leadership in information management standards and capacity building. It supports corporate level reporting to Queensland Government and the Commonwealth, and corporate data analysis and interpretation.
It provides a central data and information collection and retrieval facility for the processing and dissemination of corporate and other health data to internal and external clients of the department. It is the central reference service for information enquiries, establishes and monitors corporate data standards, conducts valued-added statistical and epidemiological analysis and provides a range of library products and services to on-site and remote clients.
A key role of the Centre is transforming collected information into data useful for decision and policy making. The Centre is improving data presentation and reviewing innovative ways of analysing and presenting data.
