Better
use of data and technology can help people live healthier, happier and more
productive lives. Digital health can make a real difference to people’s health
by giving them greater control and easy access to information.
The Australian Digital Health Agency
commenced operations on 1 July 2016 and is tasked with improving health
outcomes for all Australians through the delivery of digital health
technologies andAustralia’s National Digital Health Strategy –Safe, seamless and
secure in collaboration with
partners across the community. This
strategy puts consumers at the centre of their health and care, which empowers
more choice, control and transparency. The focus of the Agency is to put data
and technology safely to work for patients, consumers and the healthcare
professionals who look after them.
The Agency is the System Operator of My
Health Record, which provides a secure online summary of key health
records. Through the My Health Record system, patients can access and
control to their own health data, such as shared health summaries, discharge
summaries, prescriptions, dispense records, pathology reports and diagnostic
imaging reports. This system enables healthcare providers to deliver informed
healthcare through better access to current clinical and treatment information,
which can improve the health outcomes for patients.
Established as a statutory authority in the
form of a corporate Commonwealth entity, the Agency reports to State and
Territory Health Ministers through the COAG Health Council. For more
