Ten hospitals across New Zealand are now linked in to the ICNET infection surveillance database hosted by Canterbury District Health Board (DHB), with new COVID-19 functionality launched last year helping providers to detect, manage and trace COVID-19 cases across the national hospital network, including the hotel quarantine network.

Canterbury DHB migrated Baxter Healthcare's ICNET to the public cloud during the COVID-19 lockdown in March last year, with Canterbury hosting the application and offering it to other DHBs as part of an Accident Compensation Corporation-funded expansion program.
