Auckland PHO’s New Data & Digital Environment
| We are excited to begin the rollout of our new Data & Digital environment. It is a major step forward in how we support practices, patient care, and the use of health information across our network. This new platform will become Auckland PHO’s central system for clinical support, claiming, reporting, and smarter use of patient data. It is designed to replace outdated and time-consuming processes with a modern, user-friendly, secure, and future-ready environment. The new system will help practice teams\s by:
Go live will begin from 1 July 2026, with rollout occurring progressively over an eight-week period. As part of the implementation, additional features and integrations are already being installed behind the scenes. Practice Managers may be contacted during this process to assist with setup or configuration activities. In the meantime, practices should continue using Mōhio as normal. We know change can feel significant, but this investment is about creating a more connected, efficient, and sustainable digital future for practices and the communities we all serve. Training sessions, user guides, and support channels will be available both before and after go live to help ensure practices feel supported every step of the way. More updates and feature highlights will be shared over the coming weeks as we get closer to launch. |

Flu Vaccination Morning Tea Challenge Still Open!
| Congratulations to the teams at AUT Student Medical Centre, Auckland Central Medical and Health Centre, Teo Medical Care, and Cairnhill Health Centre, whose staff have achieved more than 80% influenza vaccination coverage and enjoyed a fabulous morning tea in recognition of their efforts. Protecting staff against influenza helps keep practices healthy, resilient, and ready to care for patients throughout the winter season. There is still time for your practice to take part. If more than 80% of your practice staff have received their influenza vaccination, your team can also enjoy a morning tea of your choice. For more information, or to arrange your morning tea, please contact Shanaz at shanaz@aucklandpho.co.nz |
