Add to Cart - National eHealth strategy progress in Australia

For more than a decade Australia has been looking to establishing a national eHealth system. After many reviews, reports and an estimated A$5 billion expended on various eHealth initiatives, the country is no closer to realisation of a national approach to eHealth. Vendors selling into this market are advised to remain focused on local and regional opportunities rather than waiting for a mythical national eHealth gravy train to leave the station.
