Making the shift for a healthy cause
PwC has been involved in developing the Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record (PCEHR), a $467 million Australian Government project to design, build and roll out an e-health system for all Australians. The PCEHR is intended to enable a safer, more equitable and sustainable health system.
Once consumers and clinicians are registered to use the system, it will support the quick and seamless exchange of high-priority healthcare information such as hospital discharge summaries, referrals and medication lists. As a Benefits and Evaluation Partner for the project, PwC is playing a key role in helping ensure the system provides an effective and sustainable foundation for Australia’s health system.
