PDFCutting through: using health information technology for effective chronic care delivery

19 October 2009Could it be that Australia is finally on a path that will lead us forward on the e-health agenda after all the false starts we have encountered over the last decade?

This report was prepared in early 2009 by Information Integrity Solutions (IIS) for the Health Information Exchange Sub‐Committee to report to the Australian National Consultative Committee on e‐Health (ANCC on e‐Health).  It was prepared in response to the increasing need to cut through the difficult issues arising in relation to chronic care and to find a sustainable, effective and efficient solution. 

This solution has so far eluded the many organisations and interests, including government despite significant funds
and effort being exerted on the problem. Global Access Partners (GAP) facilitated and oversaw the stakeholder consultation process and IIS conducted the research and prepared the report.  The members of the Health Information Exchange Sub‐Committee are listed at the back of this report.
