It's almost a year since the full roll-out of a cloud-based app to the 800 or so nurses working for child health organisation Plunket, and the real-time data now being gathered is allowing the organisation to specifically target areas such as immunisation and breastfeeding rates.

The charitable NGO first piloted its electronic Plunket health record (ePHR) in 2015 and by December 2016, had completed the roll-out to all of its nurses and health workers, who access it on a Windows tablet to do a range of health screens such as Well Child Tamariki Ora health checks.
