The Department of Defence will issue a request for quotation for the initial elements of its $150-$350 million JP2060 Phase 4 Health Knowledge Management (HKM) solution in May, which will include a replacement primary care practice management system, a critical care patient management system and a new Defence eHealth Record for all Australian Defence Force members.
The plan is to first roll out a new foundational record and primary care system to the 50-odd garrison sites in Australia and two overseas sites by December 2022, replacing the existing EMIS-based system implemented by DXC Technology, followed by an extended capability with analytics for deployed field hospitals by June 2025.
