The Notifiable Diseases System NDS is a new and functionally rich product designed to meet the needs of Public Health Units throughout Australia. The Australian Commonwealth Department of Health & Aging have developed and continue to enhance datasets for the collection of incidents of communicable diseases. This information is collected, analysed and used nationally in public health initiatives. The NDS application by Component Design Systems is a one-step solution for Health Units collecting disease notifications.

The NDS Application supports all finalised NNDSS Core and Enhanced datasets. Updates can be provided to ensure cost-effective and rapid adherence to new datasets.

The NDS application utilises the security measures employed by the selected back-end database to prevent unauthorised access to the system. The NDS System Administrator can tightly control actions performed by each user .

The NDS application supports concurrent access by multiple users. Performance is subject to factors such as workstation performance, network throughput and back-end database resources.

The NDS Application has been developed using the latest database development tools. This enables NDS to make efficient use of server, network and client resources..

Implementation is straightforward and migration of existing client and notification records can be undertaken by Component Design Systems.
