The Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) has confirmed it is working on a project to assist healthcare providers to upload vaccination details to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) to ensure all parts of the healthcare system can capture the administration of the COVID-19 vaccines.
The agency is also shortly to name the successful tenderer for the new API gateway that will provide a single point of access to its digital health systems and services, including the My Health Record, and hopes that the statewide secure messaging system that South Australia is building with HealthLink will see FHIR-based secure messaging interoperability in action this year.
ADHA CEO Amanda Cattermole said the API gateway replacement was a significant body of work that will form the first piece of the national infrastructure modernisation (NIM) program.
