Hearne Scientific Software is a sponsor of the 3rd Annual Outcomes in Health Conference to be held in Auckland 16 & 17 March 2004.

This year’s event will bring together a distinguished speaker panel representing a range of DHBs, IPAs, PHOs and other key constituents of the New Zealand health care system. It will showcase some of the best practice approaches to measure and manage health outcomes and provide a forum for intensive discussion and further best practice development.

Last years event was rated as "Good" or "Excellent" by 93% of the delegates.

Information Technology strategy’s for healthcare should provide accurate, appropriate and complete analysis of health care data. Data collected must be demonstrably useful in terms of improving patient care outcomes. The process of collection should be seamless, without imposing excessive compliance, labour, and IT requirement on providers. There needs to be a commitment by the health sector to accuracy, appropriateness, completeness and analysis of health information.

Many products claim to make data collection via the Internet / Intranet / Extranet fast and easy, but only SPSS software completes the critical links between data entry form design, data collection, data analysis and reporting. When you are done designing the data collection form, it is integrated into the SPSS data file, complete with the text of the questions and answers (variable and value labels). There are no separate files! All labels and data are then readily analysed by SPSS Base and SPSS AnswerTree (SPSS' flagship data analysis software) without the time consuming step of re-entering the labels that competitive products require.

The data entry form design tools are also very fast. Once you have settled on the precise wording of your questions, you can start from scratch and have your data collection form on the Internet / Intranet / Extranet and collecting data in just a few hours. SPSS Data Entry takes full advantage of the scope and speed of the Web to quickly develop and deploy high-quality data collection forms.

SPSS Base allows you to generate decision-making information quickly using powerful statistics, understand and effectively present results with high quality tabular and graphical output. Share results with others using a variety of reporting methods, including secure Web publishing.

SPSS AnswerTree's scalable decision trees, created from the widest choice of decision tree algorithms available, enable you to discover significant groups, reveal segments, create profiles and predict how groups will respond
