titleWhat is the palCentre software?

palCentre was designed as a way for services to collect and use the PCOC information. It also allows services to submit data to PCOC for analysis and reporting, and promotes consistent terminology, processes and protocols among services participating in PCOC. 

palCentre consists of two components:  a client application (the ‘front end’) and a database. The database is where the data is stored and managed, while the client application displays the information on a user-friendly interface to allow entry, editing and use of the information. This structure allows the database to be stored in a central location for one or many computers to communicate with it.

There are 2 database options:

  1. SQL server database - if your service has an SQL server database avaliable, this is the preferred option for installation.
  2. SQL Compact database - this method can be used if your service does not have an SQL server available to be used.
