About the IT Health Board

The IT Health Board aims to:

• provide leadership across the New Zealand health and disability sector for IT investments that offer patient safety and value for money
• build relationships while progressing critical foundation investments to support an improved health information model, and support future healthcare delivery models
• set a direction for the appropriate and effective use of personal health information. 

National Health IT Plan

Our aim is to have a five year national health IT plan for the health sector by the end of June 2010 that is supported by the Minister of Health.

The final plan aims to build a vision according to an overall plan that will: 

• facilitate investment in the plan
• co-ordinate projects across workstreams.

Our focus is on:

• supporting an integrated model of care
• consolidating the current environment 
• building knowledge and capability.
