  1. Peter Williams, Principal Advisor EHealth Policy Office of the CIO, Department of Health SCTT in National and International Context

  2. ISO continuity of care definition Component of patient care quality consisting of the degree to which the care needed by a patient is coordinated among practitioners and across settings and time (ISO DIS 13940 currently out for public comment)

  3. MoU on developing a national EHealth capability A commitment to achieving for Australia a world leading eHealth capability underpinned by national specifications, standards, services and infrastructure and providing for ehealth solutions and systems that: enable a person’s key healthcare information to be accessed electronically by their healthcare providers anywhere in Australia through sharing information securely across geographic and health sector boundaries;… use consistent national standards and specifications, and clinical terminology to facilitate the inter-operability and connectivity of health information systems.

  4. Why SCTT matters Dr. Doug Fridsma / Chief Science Officer and Director, Office of Science & Technology Not all of interoperability is based on the syntax of the data. More sophisticated ways of creating interoperability require sharing a common meaning for data or a common context (or workflow) in which the data is collected or used… So interoperability is something that is not black or white, but exists in the shades of gray between “not able to exchange anything” to “comprehensive ubiquitous data fluidity.” Also, we aren’t going to get to there in one giant step.

  5. National standards development NEHTA has developed specifications based on wide but limited engagement through “tiger teams” These are being transitioned to Australian Standards and Australian Technical Specifications through Standards Australia’s Health Informatics Technical Committee IT-014. IT-014-06-06 Collaborative Care Communications 2012/13 work program delivering specifications for discharge summaries, eReferral, specialist letters, shared health summaries and event summaries

  6. Help us on the journey Plan for the future but make best use of what you have – don’t let the perfect hold back the good Get engaged with or continue your current engagement with NEHTA and Standards Australia Talk to the OCIO Design Authority at key points in your system development life cycle
