Under sweeping reforms to Australia's healthcare system, the Federal government is rolling out an ambitious AUD$233.7 million Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record (PCEHR) Programme. The PCEHR lays the foundations for healthcare reforms - including moves to streamlining e-health services nationally. 

The PCEHR and related e-health reforms are under the spotlight. Debate is growing about ways to streamline healthcare. Additionally, Australia's over-stretched hospitals, medical facilities, and community care services are under pressure to modernise infrastructure - while using the best-available technology to deliver anywhere, anytime services.

Reports warn that Australia faces a serious healthcare crisis as the population ages - placing new pressures on healthcare and aged service providers to deliver quality care.

In 2012-2013, Improving healthcare is high on the agenda. Recent reforms are some of the most ambitious to date. These include plans to deliver e-health programmes nationally. 

Federal and State Governments are fast-tracking high-profile e-health rolllouts. Health and aged care remains a major expenditure for the Australian Government.
