eHealth NSW has set up a new integrated care portfolio charged with improving the flow of information between the primary and acute care sectors, which will soon see it become the first large health service in Australia to develop an integrated IT system to collect and use patient reported measures.

The state is also moving to improve the quality and timeliness of the electronic discharge summaries it sends to GPs and the My Health Record, as well as working on a statewide approach to eReferrals and referral management.
