The Australian Digital Health Agency has selected Accenture Australia to provide Application Support and Maintenance Services for My Health Record.
Introduction
The Australian Digital Health Agency has selected Accenture Australia to provide Application Support and Maintenance Services for My Health Record. This selection follows a rigorous open market procurement and evaluation process.
Background
The Agency’s CEO, Amanda Cattermole PSM, stated that stable, secure, and reliable services are vital for healthcare providers and Australian healthcare consumers who rely on My Health Record. The contract will support those services while providing a foundation for future transformation as the Agency works with governments, healthcare providers, and technology partners on the progressive transition to a modernised FHIR®-based ecosystem.
Why it may matter locally
Australian healthcare organisations should review their current My Health Record integration and ensure they are prepared for potential changes resulting from the modernisation efforts. They should also verify that their IT support teams are aware of the new operating model and can provide necessary assistance. Additionally, organisations should check their existing contracts and agreements to ensure they align with the new arrangement.
