IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST - IS MEDICARE GOING TO BE PRIVATISED OR ARE THE COSTS GOING TO ICT COMPANIES ?

On 01 Jul 2016 the "National E-Health Transistion Authority [NEHTA]" vested all its Assets
and Liabilities in the "Australian Digital Health Agency [ADHA]" ref ADHA Web-site

NATIONAL E-HEALTH STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT - 3.2.3 COLLABORATION

3 COLLABORATION

E-health standards development is characterised by: 

a A variety of standards development organisations (SDOs) [24], nationally and 
  internationally, with differing business models, membership and capabilities 
  producing standards and specifications that must integrate, interoperate or be 
  rationalised.  

  This is compounded by the fusion of computing and other technologies - 
  e.g. mobile telephony, the internet, and medical devices - each bringing with them 
  existing standards that must also be harmonised.  

  The majority of these standards development organisations are non-Government, not for profit, and 
  they are funded from a variety of sources; 

b Standards developers traditionally consist of those individuals or organisations that 
  have available time, resources and interest and developer committees and groups are 
  surrounded by a large number of interested parties with few systematic means of 
  engaging them productively;  

c A plethora of stakeholder objectives and interests, generally not well articulated and 
  in some cases not explicitly acknowledged, including health service improvement, 
  industry development, market positioning and academic research; and 

d Processes and systems that are complex and difficult to engage without considerable 
  persistence, notwithstanding principles of transparency, and widespread perceptions 
  of structural disconnection between project-based health IT initiatives and 
  standardization efforts. 
 
Currently, there is no forum through which e-health standards developers and other key 
stakeholders share information about their activities.  

NEHTA has been working closely with Standards Australia to enhance its capacity to meet national 
e-health needs.  

However, there are multiple SDOs relevant to e-health, and bi-lateral approaches to 
coordination are inherently limited.   
 
Accordingly, an E-Health Standards Forum will be organised to facilitate information 
exchange amongst relevant standards development organisations.  

Standards Australia’s facilitation processes and its access to broad health and ICT sector 
representation positions it to host such a Forum.   
 
This Forum will involve participation of groups such as NEHTA, IT-014, the Health Data 
Standards Committee, Statistical Information Management Committee, HL7 Australia and 
health information technology industry. 

The Forum will provide a focussing mechanism via which national e-health priorities articulated 
via NEHTA can be translated into the annual work programs and priorities of a variety of standards 
development organisations and their efforts mobilised.   
 
The E-Health Standards Forum in 2006 will be funded via the NEHTA Work Program as an 
investment by Australian Governments supporting the centrality of standardization to the 
national e-health agenda. 
 
NEHTA’s aim for the Forum is to assist the delivery of national e-health priorities as 
articulated by Australian Governments and contribute to identifying the standards 
development needs arising; and to encourage coordination on standards on a multi-
lateral basis.
