The Federal Government's lack of a true electronic health agenda had left an opposition offer of bipartisanship on the issue dangling useless by the wayside, Shadow Health Minister Peter Dutton said yesterday.
The legislation changes required for the national use of an individual health identifier won't likely be completed until mid next year, and that's only if the federal election doesn't become a hurdle, according to National E-health Transition Authority (NEHTA) CEO Peter Fleming.
Health ministers from around the country said yesterday that more consultation on privacy protections was necessary before any implementation of national individual health identification records could proceed.
The standards and foundations for nation-wide e-health solutions in Australia have now mainly been completed, according to National E-Health Transition Authority (NEHTA) CEO Peter Fleming, leaving implementation on the agenda for 2009.
Australia's peak e-health group, the National E-Health Transition Authority (NEHTA), has lost yet another senior executive, with the recent departure of chief information officer Mark Gibson confirmed this morning.
