NSW special commissioner Peter Garling has prescribed an aggressive $704 million investment strategy to cure NSW Health's sick information technology systems, in a landmark review published late yesterday.
An open source specialist has launched an international project between national health agencies and government-funded organisations to develop interoperable platforms for electronic healthcare products and services.
With Australia now facing an ageing population -- and the added stress of having one of the most geographically dispersed people -- Telstra's CEO Sol Trujillo is talking up the Internet as one way to tackle upcoming health issues.
Google CEO, Eric Schmidt yesterday said he hopes to deliver Google Health to Australia by the end of the year -- but local representatives say discussions, which are expected to be lengthy, haven't even started yet.
Western Australia's Department of Health has renewed its information management contract with a Fujitsu Australia-led consortium for five years under a deal worth AU$75 million.
The men running Telstra have been accused of a lot of things, but lack of conviction is definitely not one of them.

Word of tiny queues in the US and UK didn't stop Australia's iPhone faithful from braving the cold to queue for the iPhone 3GS.
The story of how Telstra lost its network is one of hubris and bungling, of misreading the play in Australia by men from the US who thought they knew everything already. Shareholders should never forget this.
Blade servers were once the saviours of the datacentre. Expandability was king. But do blade servers still make sense today? We find out if they're still worth it.

Can the addition of GPS on HP's latest PDA-phone inject some much-needed oomph back into the dwindling PDA market?
Blade servers were once the saviours of the datacentre. Expandability was king. But do blade servers still make sense today? We find out if they're still worth it.
Not the flashiest phone around, but its jaw-dropping price, ease of use and vast software ecosystem, make it a good choice for first time smartphone buyers and Palm OS aficionados alike.
Telstra is boosting its mobile network to cope with the huge volume of SMS messages predicted for New Years Eve.
