e-Health learning centre
May 14, 2012
THE Department of Health and
Ageing has launched a new
e-Health online learning centre,
designed to inform and educate
both healthcare professionals and
the general public about e-Health
and the personally controlled
electronic health record system in
the lead up to its July launch.
The website follows the recent
e-Health investment of $233.7m
announced in the Budget, which
has been earmarked to aid the
continued rollout of the system.
Announcing the new website,
Health Minister Tanya Plibersek
said “eHealth will deliver benefits
to Australian patients as it will
ensure health practitioners are able
to access their medical histories in
one convenient location, reducing
errors and making diagnosis and
treatment quicker and easier”.
“This website will help people
discover how eHealth can help
streamline their interactions with
the health system, as well as assist
doctors and nurses learn about the
new system, saving them time and
effort once it is up and running,"
she added.
The learning centre also features
click through modules tailored for
the public and healthcare
professionals, as well as case
studies illustrating how eHealth
records will benefit people in a
variety of settings, and general
e-Health news.
Rather than being a fully
completed enterprise, the website
will be progressively added to with
more information as the 01 July
deadline gets closer, and following
the launch of the system.
To access the site go to
www.ehealth.gov.au and follow the
link to the learning centre.
