"Creating an inclusive, sustainable and healthier future for all Australians through a connected and digitally enabled health system."
Digital Health has the potential to help people overcome healthcare challenges such as equitable access, chronic disease management and prevention and the increasing costs of healthcare. By enhancing the use of digital technologies and data, it enables informed decision-making, providing people better access to their health information when and where they need it, improved quality of care, and personalised health outcomes.
Australia's National Digital Health Strategy, supported by a Strategy Delivery Roadmap, places people at the centre of a connected and digitally enabled healthcare system. It sets a vision and pathway to better serve the needs of Australians today, and into the future, by creating a more connected, person-centred digital health system and realising the benefits digital technology offers individuals, the community, governments, industry and providers.
It will achieve this through consistent and ongoing national effort across 4 change enablers which, in turn, support delivery of 4 key health system outcomes identified for Australia’s health system.
This is a national strategy for all, developed in consultation with all Australian governments, consumers, healthcare providers and the software industry, and with the aim to deliver an inclusive, sustainable and healthier future for all Australians through a connected and digitally enabled health system.
