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."
