Article excerpt:
THE Gillard government is offering up to $55 million for the next round of e-health sites, inviting applications for project funding from a range of healthcare organisations before Christmas.
Health Minister Nicola Roxon said the money will expand the number of GP divisions working on new personally-controlled e-health records from the initial sites, in Brisbane, the Hunter Valley and Melbourne.
... Private health insurers and IT companies have previously expressed interest in the supply and maintenance of personal e-health records.
The Health department will release further information on its website later today; applications will close on December 20 and successful sites announced in the new year.
