A final decision has not been made on who will take the reigns as CEO of the Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) but speculation is mounting that Telstra Health's Tim Kelsey has been chosen for the high-profile role.

Pulse+IT understands that Mr Kelsey, a former journalist and open data advocate who was responsible for NHS England's controversial Care.data program, has secured the job, which despite being advertised in January has yet to be permanently filled.
