SECTOR UPDATE - Te Whatu Ora - Data & Digital

The September Hira Update (first item in ‘News’ section) is now available. It has a snapshot of the latest Hira projects, and takes a closer look at the Hira connector plane build, and the responsible use of health information.

Hira will transform the way people interact with health services and use their health information. It will deliver:

  • A New Zealand patient summary – an app/website allowing healthcare consumers/whānau to see their health information in one place and update some of it
  • A platform allowing healthcare providers to access and update patient data held in different databases
  • A secure, carefully controlled digital ecosystem enabling vendors to build apps for healthcare consumers, whānau and providers, to help people manage their own health

We welcome your feedback, input and questions about Hira – please email us on contact@hira.health.nz. Further information on the Hira Programme is also available on Te Whatu Ora website.
