Three of the largest IT suppliers to the New Zealand healthcare sector have teamed up to develop what they call a world-leading, integrated, precision medicine solution for the country that would also provide an obvious platform on which to build the recently announced national electronic health record (EHR).

In a joint statement, the three organisations said they will work together to join hospital-level clinical data with primary care data and personal health data, which when linked to genomics, microbiomics, proteomics and other new health information types, will enable a truly personalised healthcare system for New Zealanders.
