3. Users

You will only be able to see the Users tab if you have been assigned the ‘User Management’ role, when logged into the PMHC MDS on https://pmhc-mds.net.

If you don’t have access to the Users tab and you believe you should, please contact someone in your provider organisation or provider organisation’s PHN who has the ‘User Management’ role.

If you are unsure who has the ‘User Management’ role please email the PMHC Helpdesk at support@pmhc-mds.com

After navigating to the Users tab, you will be presented with a list of the users that are assigned to the organisations for which you have the ‘User Management’ role.

PMHC MDS Users

3.1. Users Roles

Access to the PMHC MDS is based around roles. The following table provides a summary of each of the roles that currently exist within the PMHC MDS:

Role Tasks allowed
Organisation Management A user with the Organisation Management role for a PHN can manage provider organisations for that PHN.
User Management A user with the User Management role for an organisation can manage user accounts for that associated organisation.
Upload A user with the Upload role can upload data to the associated organisation.
Reporting A user with the Reporting role can run reports and also download data from the associated organisation.
Aggregate Reporting A user with the Aggregate Reporting role can run reports from the associated organisation.
Data Entry A user with the Data Entry role can enter client data and practitioners from the associated organisation.
Service Feedback A user with the Service Feedback role can run completed episodes report and generate invitations for YES-PHN survey.

Each role allows a user to perform specific tasks. A user can have more than one role. Each role is granted for a user against an organisation. An organisation can either be a Primary Health Network or a provider organisation. If a user is granted a role for a Primary Health Network (PHN) they will also have this role for any provider organisations of that PHN. A user can be invited to have a role at more than one organisations. There is no limit to the number of users per organisation.

What users see after they have logged in will depend upon the roles that have been assigned. The table below lists the tabs that will be shown for each role:

Role Tab
Organisation Management Organisations
User Management Organisations, Users
Upload Upload
Reporting Reports, Data Extract
Aggregate Reporting Reports
Data Entry Data Entry
Service Feedback Tools: YES-PHN
All users Tools: SLK

You can view a user’s details through the user tab, by following these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Users tab
  2. Click on the user’s name in blue displayed within the table

A page will display showing the user’s details and the Users Roles they have at particular organisations. See Viewing a user’s roles.

3.4. Editing a User’s details

A user can edit their own contact details.

See Updating your details.

3.5. Adding a new user

Note: PHNs can devolve ‘user management’ authority to one or more users in a provider organisation so that the provider organisation can manage their own logins, or a PHN can choose to keep user management authority at the level of the PHN requiring each provider organisation to contact the PHN when they need a new user added.

Each individual staff member should be set up with their own unique login access. Generic login accounts are not encouraged to be set up and used within the PMHC MDS, and usernames / passwords should not be shared with other individuals. This process ensures that when a staff member leaves, their access can be easily disabled and it doesn’t affect other users or the security of the organisation’s data. A user’s account, should not be passed from one staff member to the next.

Before inviting a user, it is always best to inform them that they will receive a PMHC MDS invitation by email from noreply@logicly.com.au and a verification code via SMS. You can also provide them with the link to the online PMHC-MDS User Documentation to read the steps they will need to complete the steps outlined in Accepting an invitation to become a PMHC MDS User.
