Health

Australia’s health care systems are facing accelerating demand as baby boomers age and life-style illnesses increase. At the same time, the health work-force is shrinking and the cost of health technology is going up. In this environment, it is vital for Australia to move from chronic disease treatment to preventative health management. The key to this is information.

Currently, Australia’s health information is stored on disparate and sometimes paper-based systems. To provide holistic health management, the government is moving towards e-health initiatives. Yet this process is fraught with challenges. How do electronic health records maintain privacy and patient/physician confidentiality? How do you integrate the paper records of community-based physicians?

CSC has the business and technology solutions to address these challenges and help Australia unlock the potential of e-health.

Having supported the UK’s move to an electronic health network, France’s adoption of a national health card and the development and maintenance of Denmark’s population registry, we are now helping to implement Australia’s national health infrastructure.

We bring to this and other health projects a local and global track record of successful large, complex systems integration projects, including many for the Australian Defence force, where security is paramount.

Using our learnings from transforming health systems around the world, and our systems integration experience in the private sector, we also help healthcare institutions use centralisation and automation to: increase productivity, improve the quality of care, manage cost increases, tighten health record security and empower patients.
