New Zealand's Ministry of Health has embarked on a three-year initiative to assess the digital maturity of its health services using four Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) digital adoption and maturity models.
The initiative has been piloted in two DHBs this year with one in progress and two about to begin, to be followed next financial year by five more DHBs. The remaining 10 are hoped to be completed in 2020-21.
