e-Health is more about electronic patient records instead of all the paper based files kept at medical suites. Patient records and high resolution x-ray images can be accessed at the click of a button from anywhere in Oz. When added to the data currently on the internet, bandwidth will become the number one issue.
The health department today appointed it first CIO so I imagine they have thought long and hard about it before appointing someone. There has been a study to suggest this wiil generate up to 3 Billion in savings in Oz due to eHealth. In America 500 Billion over 15 years.
