This appeared late last week:
nHIP approved by Cabinet

The high-level business case for the national Health Information Platform has been approved by Cabinet.
The Ministry of Health is now developing a detailed business case that is due to go back to Cabinet early next year.
The nHIP is founded on the notion of interoperability and replaces the idea of developing a single Electronic Health Record.
“It will have the ability to assemble a virtual electronic record on an “as required” basis from multiple trusted sources, and provide access to data and services,” Ministry group manager digital strategy and investment Darren Douglass previously told eHealthNews.nz.
This will enable consumer‐related information from multiple sources to be available to those who need it, when and where needed, subject to appropriate security and privacy.

Of course it is necessary to point out that this approach – multiple repositories and real time assembly -was at the core of the original PCEHR (Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record) before it was hijacked by some dark forces deep in the bowels of the Department of Health!
Good on the Kiwis for realising what a silly idea one great big centralised thumper was!
It will be fascinating to see how this evolves over tme.
David.
