NBN could “pay for itself,” on e-health savings
Health continues to be a major focus for the development of the National Broadband Network. iSoft has made a submission to the NBN Senate Select Committee emphasizing the cost savings for integrated health records of the order of $8-$10 billion annually, and the importance of broadband in realizing the full e-health system benefits. The submission proposes that the value of the NBN would be significantly boosted by aligning the rollout with federal government healthcare initiative such as the personal health record and the deployment of super clinics. We are currently at a very important time where the thought leadership of Australia’s health informaticians will have a significant impact on the delivery of healthcare over the next decade.

You really need to get involved now, come to HIC09, create a discussion on the Health Hub or just send HISA an email with your thoughts, whatever you do, make sure you do have your voice heard!
This will be a seminal event. All the movers and shakers will be there. You need to be too!
