 **// “Consumers and service providers can see that are many suppliers of ehealth implementation technology. They can be both competitive and complementary to each other. All naturally think they have the best idea. There is probably no one best idea within this very complex environment. This situation is unlikely to be ever resolved except within a viable market, based on standards will enable efficient interconnectivity and interoperability." //** **// Peter Brown, Convenor Consumers e_Health Alliance //**


 * // __ CeHA __ - Consumers e-Health Alliance //**

The Consumers e-Health Alliance or CeHA is an emerging national network of people from health consumer organisations who are concerned to have the interests of health consumers adequately represented "at the table" during the vital IMPLEMENTATION phase of an efficient and effective e-Health Network.

The invited membership has an inclusive and collaborative approach. It has a priority focus on those affected by chronic conditions and aims to provide a consolidated view of consumer perspectives and common requirements across the e-Health spectrum. CeHA draws attention to and encourages solutions to the unique issues from consumer experiences and for which better data availability would contribute to improved health outcomes for the Australian community.

We are partners with Australian General Practice Network (AGPN) and Medical Software Industry Association (MSIA) in a drive to avoid the "silo culture" and are seeking to grow our collaborative relationships with other industry sectors sharing our interest in e-health.
