In 2015, there was only one digital hospital in Australia and New Zealand. In comparison, the United States had 1,414. The health sector in Australia isn’t just lagging that in the US, it is also lagging other sectors within Australia. It is many years behind sectors such as financial services in engagement, interactivity and access, and in urgent need of transformation and digitisation, according to a new report from PwC Australia. The report proposes that Australia adopt the US ‘Meaningful Use’ Program, which whilst having had its challenges, has achieved good results in adoption and improved information at the point of care.

This represents Government trying to provide a single electronic entry point for Government services aggregating the multiplicity of Government agencies, brands and products. This is a step on the pathway towards reducing the cost to Government and providing a single entry point for consumers.
Those who design and steer the development of the technology landscape can mitigate risk by setting operating standards and promoting cross-functional collaboration.
Did you know that 80% of business printing is related to transactions? This means invoices, purchase orders, delivery notes, and even payment confirmations. And yet most of these materials are originally created electronically. This virtually systematic shift to paper requires an investment of time and money that companies don’t necessarily need to make. It’s such a waste of time and money to end up printing them!
