MidCentral District Health Board has developed a five-year digital health program of investment that it hopes will transform health and wellness services in the district, which includes Horowhenua, Tararua, Palmerston North, Manawatū, and Ōtaki.

The strategy will build on initiatives it has already implemented as part of the Central region's Regional Health Informatics Program, which has seen it deploy core regional applications such as a clinical portal, radiology information system, picture archiving and communication system and the webPAS patient administration system.
