NEHTA Releases Blueprint

20 August 2010.  NEHTA is pleased to announce the release of the NEHTA Blueprint. The NEHTA Blueprint is a reference document intended to familiarise readers with major e-health capabilities that NEHTA is promoting for national adoption.

The Blueprint brings together and summarises the key documents from across the NEHTA work program into a single document, explains how they fit together and how they fit within the broader strategic direction. 
 
The Blueprint covers a range of capabilities including identifiers for individuals, providers and organisations, authentication, secure messaging, clinical terminologies, supply chain, pathology requests and reports, diagnostic imaging requests and reports, medication management, referrals and discharge summaries.
 
The Blueprint is a living document and will be updated as the NEHTA work program evolves.
