NGO's Information and Technology Survey
QNADA is committed to a continuous cycle of improvement of our assistance and support to our member services. This survey has been developed to allow member services to provide feedback on CADDS.
CADDS is QNADA'S client management system (previously known as the QNADA Datanet Gateway – NMDS Database). CADDS can be utilised in the following ways -
- Client Management database for AOD clients
- Document Management for internal and client records
- One click reporting to government, Boards and Management
- Contributing to qualitative justification for improved funding for the NGO AOD sector
CADDs is also a handy mechanism for reporting data for contributing to the Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Services National Minimum Data Set (NMDS). The NMDS is the national data collection for services that provide a range of treatment services for clients with drug and alcohol dependencies. Agencies that have a primary focus of providing alcohol and other drugs treatment services and are providing information, education, counselling, detoxification or rehabilitation services should contribute to the NMDS dataset. Currently only 67 non-government AOD services contribute to the NMDS.
A proportion of Indigenous clients are represented within the scope of the NMDS, however services targeted to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients, such as Australian Government-funded Indigenous substance use services and Aboriginal primary health care services, are not under the jurisdiction of a state or territory health authority and consequently are not covered by the NMDS.
We appreciate you taking the time to provide QNADA with information which will assist in continuing to improve CADDS. We undertake to provide you with proposals for system improvements as a result of this survey and continue the discussion on how CADDS can be of benefit to your service.
If you have any questions or need assistance with completing this survey please don't hesitate to contact Gunnar on (07) 3010 6504 or via email gunnar.kristiansen@qnada.org.au.
