Survey: The Future of Healthcare is Digital

MTAA is engaged with the Australian Digital Health Agency, the agency that is developing the National Digital Health Strategy.  The strategy will be formed during this budget year, with a view to finalistion by mid 2022.  To this end, MTAA has been engaged with the ADHA to contribute to the strategic framework.  We anticipate a workshop for MTAA members and ADHA to be scheduled later this year.
