The National E-Health Transition Authority Strategic Plan Refresh
The NEHTA Board has endorsed the strategic plan refresh which articulates how the National E-Health Transition Authority (NEHTA) will continue to develop and progress the national infrastructure and adoption support required for eHealth in Australia, as mandated and funded by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG).
NEHTA's Strategic Plan describes the COAG funded milestones achieved to date, the work planned to progress the key eHealth foundations and initiatives for the remaining period of NEHTA’s current COAG funding, the targets and activities required to deliver components of the PCEHR, and NEHTA’s role in accelerating the adoption and further progression of eHealth in Australia into the future.
The Commonwealth Government approved the development of the personally controlled electronic health record (PCEHR) system in 2010, and allocated funding to deliver this by July 2012. NEHTA has been contracted as a managing agent on behalf of the Department of Health and Ageing (DOHA) in relation to contracts and agreements for: National Infrastructure Partner/s; National Change and Adoption Partner; Benefits Evaluation Partner; and eHealth Sites.
The Plan builds on the foundations developed by NEHTA and outlines five strategic priorities that define our role in adoption and implementation:
- Deliver, operationalise and enhance the essential foundations required.
- Coordinate the progression of priority eHealth initiatives.
- Manage the delivery of key components of DOHA’s PCEHR Programme.
- Accelerate national adoption of eHealth.
- Lead the further progression of eHealth in Australia.
