The long-awaited National Healthcare Interoperability Plan 2023-2028 aims to facilitate the safe and seamless sharing of consumer health information across Australia. It focuses on five priority areas, including identity, standards, information sharing, innovation and measuring benefits, with a total of 44 actions outlined. The Council for Connected Care has been created to oversee the plan's implementation and is responsible for monitoring and reporting on the progress of the actions. As a highly interoperable platform, Coviu summarises the key takeaways from this revolutionary step forward in digital healthcare.
