This initiative targets clinical information system (CIS) and mobile CIS software vendors, aiming to increase the number of compliant products that can connect to national infrastructure, such as My Health Record and electronic prescribing services.
“The Strengthening Medicare Taskforce Report highlighted the importance of allied healthcare teams being able to add to and access essential health information in My Health Record to enhance clinical decision making for Australians at the point of care,” said Agency CEO Amanda Cattermole PSM.
Cattermole also emphasised that improved sharing of information across allied health, primary health and aged care to better support multidisciplinary care is a key goal of the Agency.
“The Agency is focused on constantly improving and supporting real-time health information access, which in turn will ease the administrative burden on all care providers and enable them to deliver improved health outcomes for Australian healthcare consumers.”

The release of this tender represents a significant opportunity for allied health CIS and mobile CIS software vendors to integrate with national infrastructure and contribute to the digital transformation of Australia’s healthcare system. The Agency invites all interested vendors to view the request for tender on AusTender.
