About the Regional Digital Health Service (RDHS)

A man and woman discussing the Regional Health Informatics Programme.

TAS operates the Regional Digital Health Services on behalf of the six District Health Boards in the Central Region.

Three District Health Boards ‒ Whanganui, Wairarapa and MidCentral DHBs ‒ are currently using the regional digital health services, with plans for other DHBs to onboard soon.

Applications on the platform include:

  • The ‘core’ (single instance) applications:
    • Clinical Portal (CP)
    • Regional Picture Archiving and Communication Archive (PACs)
    • Radiology Information System (RIS)
    • Regional Application Data Access (RADA)
    • Heath Care Practitioner Database (HCP).
  • The ‘common’ (multiple instances across the Region) application is:
    • Patient Administration System (PAS).

RDHS is the successor to the Regional Health informatics programme (RHIP), which operated between 2011 and 2017.
