The project will target people with disabilities and their carers, war veterans and war widows and children commencing school.
Greater Western Sydney eHealth Consortium (NSW Health) Will focus on high priority consumer groups in the Greater Western Sydney region, including mothers and babies, aged and chronic and complex diseases, Aboriginal medical services and the culturally and linguistically diverse population. The project will include secure messaging and eReferral programs and a medical imaging repository.
Medibank Private Will implement a PCEHR and Personal Health Diary called ‘Health Book’. The solution will initially target all customers and their providers enrolled in Medibank’s Health Management and Chronic Disease Management programs.
FRED IT MedView Project This is the first time a project will provide a solution that will allow Australian clinicians to see a combined list of prescribed and dispensed medications regardless of how many different doctors and pharmacies the patient has attended.

In particular the project will focus on indigenous communities and also extend into six East Kimberley hospitals in Western Australia and to remote Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services in South Australia.
St Vincent’s and Mater Health Sydney Will improve clinical communication across the participating hospitals and other health professionals through the delivery of key PCEHR components including GP health summaries, GP referrals and interoperability between two major Australian shared electronic health record solutions, Smart Health Solutions and Precedence Healthcare.

Figure 1 – The nine new locations selected to lead the roll-out of eHealth records
portfolio also includes Personal Health Diary and Consumer Portal implementations. • Delivery of early benefits in a range of areas, including improved coordination of care, enhanced continuity of care, improved medication management and the delivery of sustainable components which will enable later integration with the national infrastructure.

overview of the nine sites. One of the most important aspects
about the approach is that these sites will help lead the way in developing and informing future planning of eHealth, improving technology and identifying what works well and what could work better. NEHTA is working closely with these
sites on their implementation planning. The sites will deliver a solid foundation for the future national deployment of
the PCEHR across consumers and key healthcare sectors so they are in essence serving as a catalyst for kicking off eHealth around the country.
