eHealth Strategy
After significant consultation across Queensland Health (QH), a public document was developed by Deloitte for informing the department's eHealth Strategy. QH has progressed this strategy through implementation planning. The Strategy has been revised to reflect progress made since its original development and to ensure consistency with the funding cycle of the Queensland Government.
For 2007-08, QH received an additional funding injection of $40 million to commence a multi year investment in eHealth initiatives (view the Ministerial Media Statement for eHealth or the 2007-08 Budget Highlights for Information Communications Technology (ICT)).
To manage the multi-year investment in eHealth, a portfolio framework has been agreed. Each eHealth initiative shall be assigned to the relevant program area and included in the eHealth Roadmap. The eHealth Roadmap is currently being developed to show the key priorities for QH in terms of ICT investment over the next five to seven years.
Through a business case process, initiatives will be selected from the roadmap and become part of the eHeatlh program of work managed internally by QH.
