Digital health adoption is revolutionising the healthcare landscape, allowing for the secure, electronic management and exchange of health information. By incorporating digital health tools into everyday practice, healthcare providers can offer safer, more connected care that enhances patient outcomes, particularly in regional and remote communities where access to healthcare can be challenging.
The Commonwealth’s digital health initiatives – such as My Health Record, Telehealth, Secure Messaging, electronic prescriptions, and the Healthcare Identifiers Service – are central to enabling a more efficient and patient-centred healthcare system.
We’re dedicated to supporting primary healthcare providers in seamlessly adopting and integrating digital health tools into their practices. As part of the National Digital Health Strategy and Action Plan, we help healthcare providers make the most of these technologies to deliver high-quality care for their patients.
