Ehealth blueprints finished
September 13, 2011
THE finalised plans for Australia’s
new eHealth system have been
released today by the Department
of Health and Welfare.
Titled the Concept of Operations,
the plans include the
implementation details and
consultation pathways for
Australia’s electronic health
system, its structure, how it will
work, the security and privacy
principles, and details of benefits
of eHealth for patients, carers and
healthcare professionals.
Describing the release as a “big
step forward for eHealth”, the
Minister for Health and Ageing,
Nicola Roxon said the Concept of
Operations will now be used to
build the system, allowing all
Australians to sign up from July
next year.
“Patients will no longer have to
remember every medical test,
immunisation or prescription they
have,” Roxon said.
“Doctors and other health care

professionals will no longer have
to rely on patients to accurately
recall past treatment and will be
able to work together more easily
to provide better care,” she added.
The Concept of Operations is
based on the framework for a
national electronic health record
system agreed by the Australian
Health Ministers Conference in
April 2010, and which was updated
following public consultation on an
April 2011 draft.
Main changes between the April
draft and its finalised incarnation
include further refining of the
registration process, and the
removal of an individual’s ability to
mark a clinical document as ‘no
access’ to ensure that all clinical
documents in an individual’s PCEHR
are available in an emergency.

special interactive exhibition at
