Have I missed something or is this just a request to develop about 10 PowerPoint slides to show how various bits of the Health System are connected?
You really have to wonder why among the 375 ADHA staff there are not at least one or two who could do this during a lunch hour or two?
No wonder the consulting budget from the various Federal Departments ran into the Billions of Dollars.
A few more APS staff and a few less consultants could save a motza I reckon which we will need to fix aged care and so on!

1) Online marketers use software/service like Doodly for this.
2) ADHA should already have use cases that were developed & tested ... maybe they didn't all deliver, or were published but not worth the paper they were written on?
3) Shouldn't they have the use cases already done after >decade of updates & supposed use. If you can't see the benefits now with actual $$$ savings, why bother?
4) Are they going to accept animations showing all the PROBLEMS with various use cases they promoted in the past & how the current system FAILS to meet earlier assumptions?
5) On first glance of the title of your post, I thought "People/animals in coma/hibernation need re-animation, but what's the point of trying to re-animate a dead duck?"
1. Polishing a turd?
2. Lipstick on a pig?
Pick one.
The aims of the Digital Health ecosystem (as published publicly as part of the tender process but now not available) are:
1. Take the front end components of MyHR and put them in an environment of their own. This is an infrastructure architecture change only, there will be no impact on functionality but it will create a multipurpose gateway. They are calling it the "Health Information Gateway"
2. Use the gateway to connect to every health data source it possibly can including GPs, Path Labs, Hospitals. It will build upon many existing interface protocols.
3. Feed all this data into a government owned and operated back-end for matching (eg ABS' Multi-Agency Data Integration Project (MADIP), analysis, interrogation and maybe medical research.
4. Continue to fed data to the MyHR from current sources and be under the control of patients.
The sales pitch will probably be based upon improving the capabilities of MyHR, but the real target is populating the government owned and operated back-end.
The contract for the first phase was awarded to Deloitte Consulting Pty Ltd in July 2021:
https://www.digitalhealth.gov.au/newsroom/media-releases/contract-awarded-for-modernisation-of-national-digital-health-infrastructure
This paragraph says it all, if you understand what they are really doing:
"The Health Information Gateway is key to the Agency’s future directions for national digital health infrastructure. The new Gateway unlocks the Agency’s ability to deploy and manage additional health information repositories and health data exchanges in support of national priorities for healthcare delivery and digitising government services, now and into the future."
The gateway is only phase one. ADHA will need to solve the two big problems that NEHTA failed to solve - NASH and proper interoperability.
Solving these two problems for an ecosystem is at least an order of magnitude harder than for the PCEHR.
Oh my goodness what planet are these people on? Whatever happened to the 'intelligent public servants'? Are we forever destined to be led by moronically inept brainless automatons who just keep churning out this meaningless drivel?
Is the Health Secretary Dr Brendan Murphy oblivious and insouciant to this nonsense that continues being dealt up as Digital Health under the guise of strong intelligent knowledgeable competent leadership?
April 13 8:57 PM - in short - looks that way.
The whole government thinks that Digital Transformation is the way to go. Except that nobody knows what that means.
The Digital Transformation Office got created and then disbanded because it achieved nothing. Pity they don't do that to MyHR. But I guess the lobbying of a certain service provider would put a stop to that - too much easy money at stake.
Talking about Digital Transformation, it looks like the Department of Immigration is need of some sort of transformation. The country is desperate for engineers but the Department is incapable of letting more than a trickle in.
Thousands of engineers left waiting on visas as demand hits 10-year high
https://www.innovationaus.com/thousands-of-engineers-left-waiting-on-visas-as-demand-hits-10-year-high/
This is the last paragraph:
"From July to February last year, only about 45 visas were issued to engineering graduates, despite about 1500 applications being lodged."
Looks like Immigration is competing with Health for worst performing Department. ADHA must be leading in the worst Agency category.
