Abstract

Health Statistics NSW is a new web-based application developed by the Centre for Epidemiology and Research at the NSW Ministry of Health. The application is designed to be an efficient vehicle for the timely delivery of health statistics to a diverse audience including the general public, health planners, researchers, students and policy analysts. The development and implementation of this web application required the consideration of a series of competing demands such as: the public interest in providing health data while maintaining the privacy interests of the individuals whose health is being reported; reporting data at spatial scales of relevance to health planners while maintaining the statistical integrity of any inferences drawn; the use of hardware and software systems which are publicly accessible, scalable and robust, while ensuring high levels of security. These three competing demands and the relationships between them are discussed in the context of Health Statistics NSW.

新南威尔士州卫生统计局:在基于网络的报告系统中获得隐私和小数字之间的适当平衡。
新南威尔士州卫生统计是新南威尔士州卫生部流行病学和研究中心开发的一个新的基于网络的应用程序。该应用程序旨在成为向包括公众、卫生规划人员、研究人员、学生和政策分析人员在内的各种受众及时提供卫生统计数据的有效工具。这一网络应用程序的开发和实施需要考虑一系列相互竞争的需求,例如:提供健康数据的公共利益,同时维护正在报告健康状况的个人的隐私利益;向卫生规划人员报告相关空间尺度的数据,同时保持得出的任何推论的统计完整性;使用可公开访问、可扩展和健壮的硬件和软件系统,同时确保高水平的安全性。在新南威尔士州卫生统计的背景下,讨论了这三个相互竞争的需求和它们之间的关系。
