THE Australian Digital Health Agency is inviting input from interested groups and individuals on the Australian National Digital Health Strategy in order to gain "collaboration on co-producing its implementation plan - the Framework for Action".
The strategy document 'Safe, Seamless and Secure' was approved in 2017 by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Health Council in an effort to put "the consumer at the centre of their healthcare and providing choice, control and transparency".
A consultation draft describing the vision for digital health 2018 to 2022 is now available for comment, the agency says.
"It reflects what consumers, healthcare providers and a range of organisations told us during last year's consultation on the development of the National Digital Health Strategy, and has been developed with assistance from all the governments of Australia."
The vision proposed in the document prioritises digital health activity designed to avoid hospital admissions, reduce adverse drug events, reduce duplication of medical tests, better co-ordinate care for people with chronic and complex conditions, and better inform treatment decisions.
Feedback will be accepted in the form provided until Fri 06 Apr 2018.
