Technology services giant Accenture and NZ strategic consulting firm MartinJenkins have won a contract to develop a two-stage business case for the country's proposed single electronic health record (EHR).

The Accenture consortium will work with the Ministry of Health's EHR project team on an indicative business case, which will be presented to the government in early June 2017. The Ministry said that if the indicative business case is accepted by Cabinet, a detailed business case would then follow later in the year.
