The Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) was back in the news this last fortnight as the large round of consultations it has been doing – or what we like to call Tim Kelsey's magical mystery tour – comes to an end and work on a new national eHealth strategy starts in earnest.

There has been a flurry of activity, with tenders issued for secure messaging proof of concept trials and pharmacy software vendors incentivised to hook up to the My Health Record. Just this week the members of some of the agency's advisory committees were revealed, some of them extremely worthy. And on Friday, we found out a few details about the next release of the MyHR and what spiffing new features to expect, the most important from a clinical perspective being a unified view of medications and better searchability of pathology and diagnostic imaging reports.
