The ACT government has released its 10-year digital health strategy, the centrepiece of which is the development of an integrated digital health record that will act as a single digital source of truth for clinical information and be accessible by clinicians in inpatients, outpatients and the community.
The ACT will also aim to boost its electronic medical record adoption model score, which it calculates is currently sitting at 1.5 out of a possible score of 7, and focus on implementing standards to allow integration with national digital health services to support wider sharing of information.
