Taranaki District Health Board has rolled out Datix version 14, the first of the five Midland DHBs to implement the patient safety and risk management software that is set to be deployed on a shared platform across the region.

Datix is a modular system for healthcare risk management and incident and adverse event reporting and is used by 75 per cent of National Health Service facilities in the UK. It has also been implemented in South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania.
