The Australian Digital Health Agency (Agency) and HL7 Australia have launched 'FHIRside,' a new forum designed to bring together developers and implementers. This initiative provides an opportunity for healthcare technology professionals to accelerate the implementation of FHIR standards and tackle real-world challenges.
Australia is accelerating its digital health transformation with a focus on interoperability. The Australian Digital Health Agency has launched refreshed training courses utilizing FHIR to enhance the skills of healthcare professionals and developers.
The Australian Digital Health Agency has released updated training courses to support the nationwide rollout and adoption of the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard. This aims to equip healthcare professionals and developers with specialized knowledge, building a more connected healthcare ecosystem.
The Australian Digital Health Agency, in collaboration with HL7 Australia, has launched updated digital health training courses to support the implementation of FHIR. These include practical fundamentals for developers and introductory guidance for project managers.
The Australian Digital Health Agency is upgrading the data architecture of the national digital health record system (My Health Record). Telstra Health was awarded a A$33 million contract to upgrade the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA).
Telstra Health has secured a A$33 million contract from the Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) to upgrade the data architecture of the national My Health Record system. This modernization initiative will implement FHIR standards to enhance capacity for increasing health information sharing demands.
Telstra Health has won a contract to implement a new data architecture for the government's My Health Record (MHR), based on a global interoperability model. The new system will use FHIR resources as its foundation, aiming to improve information sharing efficiency between legacy and modern healthcare systems.
The Australian Digital Health Agency awarded Telstra Health the contract to transform the My Health Record system. This initiative aims to build a real-time, interoperable data foundation based on FHIR standards, overcoming the limitations of the current CDA format.
The Australian Digital Health Agency awarded Telstra Health the contract to transform the My Health Record (MHR) system. This initiative aims to build a real-time, interoperable health information sharing platform, expected to provide an efficient care environment for both healthcare providers and consumers.
Australia's healthcare system struggles with the seamless exchange of vast amounts of patient data recorded across multiple facilities. CSIRO is working to improve this 'interoperability,' aiming to reduce risks like duplicate testing and incomplete information.
Data Capture Experts (DCE), creators of DC2Vue, announced a new integration with HealthLink, the secure messaging network. This enhances digital connectivity from General Practitioners (GPs) to the full spectrum of hospital and health services, enabling more coordinated and efficient care.
BESTMED (medication management platform) and Best Practice Software (GP software) have partnered to achieve data interoperability between aged care facilities and general practitioners in Australia. This integration is expected to streamline medical workflows, improve prescribing accuracy, and provide easy access to electronic health records and medication lists.
The Australian Digital Health Agency has published the OperationOutcome resource profile (v1.4.0) to define the success or failure of electronic health information exchange within the My Health Record system. This specification establishes the mechanism for data exchange between healthcare providers and individuals, based on FHIR standards.

Global healthcare systems face challenges with data sharing amid rising demand and resource constraints. This article explores 'connected care' in Australia, detailing how interoperability (FHIR) can transform clinical and patient experiences.
The Australian government allocated funding to launch 'Sparked,' an initiative led by CSIRO and others. This effort aims to utilize FHIR standards for seamless data exchange and improved safety between public and private healthcare services nationwide.
Sparked, the CSIROโs FHIR accelerator program, has published Australian Clinical Data for Interoperability Release 2 (AUCDI-R2). This release includes additional content to strengthen patient summaries and chronic disease management, enhancing Australia's healthcare information exchange foundation.
The Australian FHIR Implementation Group (IG) is holding a technical conference call regarding the 'AU Patient Summary.' This event serves as a platform to discuss standardized handling of patient summary data for healthcare information exchange.
