How would a national HIE work in Australia, who will likely specify, build and maintain it, and what are the likely timeframes around this ambitious project?
On Wednesday October 16 at 9:30am AEDT Health Services Daily will be putting on a free one hour webinar looking at the ambitious national health information exchange plan being developed by the Department of Health and Aged Care and the Australian Digital Health Agency.
The webinar will aim to introduce as many providers, vendors, consultants and integrators to the current thinking of government around the project and the likely key timings on how and when the project will start rolling out.

The webinar will cover Australia’s interoperability landscape today as it pertains to the challenges of building out a national HIE – things like our federated funding model, our current hospital vs GPs and community capability, our current installed technology base and the role of the My Health Record.
The panel includes a key player in the HIE landscape from the US, Paul Wilder, Executive Director of a major HIE hub known as the CommonWell Health Alliancewill who will we ask to talk on the state of interoperability in the US and Canada and what Australia might take as learnings into its HIE initiative.
The webinar will also outline the current ADHA vision for an Australian HIE, some early ideas for framework and try to provide some ideas on timing for potential vendors and providers who are planning for the future.
