eHealth national co-ordination & alignment conference - 'Assessing strategies, priorities & implementation'

At the December 2009 meeting of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) the Federal, State and Territory Governments agreed to provide the framework for national healthcare identifiers. This framework - called the Healthcare Identifiers Service (HIS) - will underpin the development of a nationally-consistent electronic health system and is expected to operate from July 2010. 

This conference will give a strategic overview of ehealth developments in Australia and examine current systems in the context of the four strategic workstreams identified in the National eHealth Strategy: foundations; ehealth solutions; governance; change and adoption. It will help healthcare providers to develop their organisational capacity to seamlessly adopt an electronically-based system of care, which can operate within a national framework. 

The agenda of Day 1 and Day 2 have been made available. A pre-conference workshop to be held on the eve of the conference will focus on 'Defining, measuring & achieving success in ehealth implementation' and a final workshop on the day following the conference will be dedicated to the theme 'Connecting healthcare providers for integrated, reliable care'.  

Registration to this open event is to be performed online; it requires the payment of a fee.
