NASH

As significant amounts of sensitive and personal information is being sent electronically around the globe, there is a need to guarantee the authenticity and validity of the information that is being exchanged. In the case of your personal medical information, there is an even greater imperative to ensure that information is collected and securely electronically exchanged only by those authorised to do so.

The National Authentication Service for Health (NASH) project will deliver the first nationwide secure and authenticated service for healthcare organisations and personnel to exchange e-health information.

Together with clinical terminology, messaging standards and unique health identifiers, NASH will provide one of the fundamental building blocks for a national e-health system.
