A consortium headed by McKinsey and Company has been selected to lead the national change and adoption process as Australia moves to introduce Personally Controlled Electronic Health Records (PCEHR) next year.
“The National Change and Adoption Partner will help educate and support the training and information needs of the health workforce who will use the system,” Minister Roxon said.
“The consortium will plan, design and develop training, guidance and tools in collaboration with clinicians and software providers. It will also provide change management support for clinicians including at the 12 lead implementation sites.
“From 1 July 2012, Australians will be able to choose to have a personal eHealth record, giving individuals a level of control over their health information never previously available.
“For doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other health professionals, PCEHRs will help transform Australia’s health system, improving the security of patient information and allowing for better clinical assessments and more efficient, effective treatment.”
“The Commonwealth is investing up to $29.9 million for this important contract for e-health implementation.
