Health Information Strategy for New Zealand (HIS-NZ) (2005-2009) focused on national ICT infrastructure.

"HIS-NZ has discounted a single national repository EHR for all an individual’s identifiable health information. The focus of HIS-NZ is on the communication and connectivity required for the sector to use and share this distributed information ..."

Health Information Strategy for New Zealand (HIS-NZ) (2005-2009; 2009-2014)

"By 2014, New Zealanders will have a core set of personal health information available electronically to them and their treatment providers regardless of the setting as they access health services:

  • Information will be recorded in digital formats throughout the health system.
  • Personal health information will be available, with appropriate access, across health care organisations.
  • People will be more involved in the collection and use of their personal health information.
  • Health care providers will have clearly defined roles when collecting, using and sharing personal health information.
  • Information improvements will be prioritised to enable clinicians to optimise their resources (time, facilities and equipment) and focus on the delivery of quality health care."
