The eHealth System will be made available to all stakeholders responsible for providing health services and benefits to defence staff, including clinicians, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, and civilian health providers.
The members’ health data, from recruitment to discharge, will be centrally stored and updated in the system. This will help simplify internal work processes and reduce duplication of data, said Stuart Robert, Assistant Minister for Defence.
“The demands of service life can at times lead to physical injury or mental illness. It is therefore essential that Defence’s health services are at the cutting edge to ensure the provision of the best possible health care for our people,” he added.
The system has been successfully rolled out in Defence health facilities in Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
The system will be fully implemented at all Defence health facilities across the rest of Australia by the end of 2014.
This will be the first national eHealth record management system in Australia, added Robert.
