Participation

Participation in TKC for non-government health services is voluntary. Participation is formalised through execution of the TKC Data Participation Agreement, which outlines the working relationship between the partners and the data security, data management, access and privacy protocols. The following links are provided for your information. The Data Participation Agreement acknowledges the common goal of partners to improve the health and wellbeing of people in the Northern Territory. TKC partners actively support each other in the delivery of culturally secure care. An agreed approach to safeguard the rights, views and values of health service clients underpins TKC.

By participating, each organisation demonstrates its commitment to preventive, early intervention and evidence-based practice in the treatment, management and planning of chronic disease care. 

TKC includes data from 6 NT public hospitals, 56 government primary health services, 11 ACCHS and one private practice in the NT. TKC has been implemented in the majority of Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services in the NT. The TKC project team continue to work with primary health services including private GP practices, regarding the benefits of linking patient data for improved patient care.
