THE Australian Digital Health Agency has launched a new national digital collaborative to improve the health of Australian children via digital health records.
Partners in the initiative include eHealth NSW and the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network, with the aim of capturing all records on a child's health and development in a single comprehensive digital record from the time they are conceived right through the critical first years and adolescence.
As well as capturing data currently held in hard copy "baby books" in different states via the National Child Digital Health Record, the program aims to upload school immunisation records to the Australian Immunisation Register as well as develop a digital shared care pregnancy plan accessible by women and their healthcare providers - digitalhealth.gov.au.
