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.
The Federal Government today released draft legislation to assign a unique healthcare identifier number to every provider and consumer, as agreed to the Coalition of Australian Governments meeting earlier this week.
Tasmania has gone to market for further e-health services in a continuation of its push to upgrade the health technology capabilities in its hospitals.

When your broadband speeds are limited to 38Kbps it's not hard to join the ranks of people demanding the NBN already. Telstra's copper network is a renovator's delight.

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy will likely release a censored version of Enex Testlabs' report into the technical feasibility of ISP-level internet filtering, in an attempt to minimise the fallout on his political career.
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.
Ray Brown stepped in two weeks ago as the latest chief information officer for Queensland Health, hoping to bring some stability to a division that has seen a number of faces move through the head technology spot in quick succession.
