Eclair Clinical Data Repository (CDR) Shared Laboratory Record information for healthcare providers
What is Eclair CDR?
Eclair Clinical Data Repository (CDR) is an information service providing secure on-line access to Taranaki District Health Board (TDHB) patient database of healthcare records. Previous and current laboratory results are found in Eclair CDR database.
Eclair CDR is not a central regional data repository.
Who can register for Eclair CDR?
Healthcare providers can register with the Taranaki District Health Board, along with community providers. Community providers include health care professionals operating in a community-based setting such as GPs, practice nurses, midwives and specialists.
Why do we provide Eclair CDR?
The overall objective of Eclair CDR is to improve information sharing among community and hospital-based healthcare professionals, for the benefit of patients. This information sharing reduces the need for duplicate laboratory testing on patients; minimises delays in patient care while tests are re-done or re-sent; and is more time efficient for the staff involved in a patient’s care.

All users will be required to complete TDHB information Access Deed, which sets out the terms and conditions to using Eclair CDR. This is an agreement between the health providers and TDHB which sets out the obligations around use, access, monitoring of use, and disclosure.
