HIFIS 4 Health Check

So you've been using HIFIS in your community, and you're wondering: are we doing this well? 

To help you find out if you’re on the right track, ACRE Consulting and Built for Zero Canada have partnered to create the HIFIS 4 Health Check.

This is a high-level view of your database with one key principle in mind: the better the data going in to HIFIS, the better the data will be coming out, which will result in HIFIS having greater value to the community, which will result in people wanting to use it more frequently, which means you will have better data going in, even better data coming out, and even more value to the community.

This newly updated HIFIS Health Check pulls data from HIFIS along 6 metrics:

  1. Cluster integration

  2. Consent

  3. Potential duplicates

  4. Unknown housing status

  5. User logins

  6. Inactive clients receiving services

Together, these metrics should serve to provide a high-level overview of how well your HIFIS data is able to support your Coordinated Access system and meet Reaching Home directives.
