EHR

=Electronic Health Records=

A national program to create a Person Controlled Electronic Health Record was announced in the May 2010 federal budget. It is to be delivered over two years commencing July 2010 with a budget allocation of $466 million.

IHE Australia is making a case that the IHE profile for Cross Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS) is a strong contender to provide the technical architecture for this new program.

There have been limited information provided, as yet by DoHA, on their vision for the new PCEHR.
