  4. Consumers have told us: • “It is our right, as an Australian citizen, as a consumer of health, as a taxpayer, to have this, because it’s the only way we’re going to have safe, timely, effective healthcare.” NEHTA responds to questions at a consumer forum

  5. “It is unethical to carry on what we are currently doing.” Professor Sir Muir Grey NHS Head of Knowledge Management 01st October 2004

  6. “The longer we wait, the more likely we are to have lots of little projects going on that are never going to talk to this project, so we need to get it out there. • “There needs to be an iterative process so that it can continually build upon itself and grow - so we start minimal and we go big.”

  7. What is the role of NEHTA? NEHTA was established out of recognition that only a national approach will work. Our vision is to: • Developbetter ways of electronically collecting and securely exchanging health information, and • Facilitate e-health systems that unlock quality, safety and efficiency benefits
