Well Child/Tamariki Ora Advanced Form

Installation

The installation of the Tamariki Ora Advanced Form needs to be done by a skilled user and the instructions below expect that you understand MedTech.

If you require assistance with the installation please contact either MedTech or Karo Data Management (04 384 1177).

Installation Steps

1. Import the supplied Advanced Form (Well Child - Tamariki Ora 2011 (WCTO2MT).xml) into MedTech
2. Set up HealthLink so that you can send and receive messages from Karo Data Managment
Instructions for setting up HealthLink for Karo - if you are in a PHO that uses Karo this may have already been done
3. Set up the Message Trasfer Utility to run automatically (this may already be done on your system)
4. Set up the Tamariki Ora Advanced Form path to the HealthLink folder
The default path for the Advanced Form is "C:\HLink\FF_Out\Karo\" - if this is where your HealthLink is set up then you don't need to do anything.
If it is different then go into the Advanced Form setup and click on the Second Tab and then edit the path to the Karo folder to match yours.

5. Create a generic Tamariki Ora/Well Child Referral
The Well Child Referral button on the referrals part of the Tamariki Ora form will open a generic Well Child Referral (WCREF) Outbox Document.
So for this feature to work an Outbox document with this code needs to be set up.
6. Check measurements
Check to make sure the following screening codes are set up and that the measurement data type is number (not text):
HCIR – Head Circumference – measured in cms
Height – measured in cms
WT – Weight – measured in kgs

7. Optional - set up growth charts
Please note that the growth charts are not the New Zealand standard - however if you wish to use them anyway then you need to:
Click on Utilities, Health Assessment Tools and Growth Charts
Make sure that your codes are set to the appropriate screening codes (Height HT, Weight WT and Head Circumference HCIR) at bottom left of the screen
