The New Zealand Ministry of Health (MOH) has revealed a plan for the next 12 months in the development of the country's national electronic health record (EHR) following a request from a cabinet committee for more detail on the costs and benefits of the proposed system.
As Pulse+IT reported recently, the Cabinet Committee on State Sector Reform and Expenditure Control (SEC) – which is chaired by Minister for Finance Steven Joyce and considers all large investment projects – earlier this month requested more detail on the costs, benefits and risks of the EHR, to be submitted as an addendum to the indicative business case (IBC) prepared by Accenture.
