Overview

Digitally enabled health services is a collective term that includes the use of information and communication technologies to deliver health care when patients and care providers are not in the same physical location (telehealth); the delivery of business functions where staff are in different locations (teleworking); and using data and digital tools and services to enable populations currently without digital capability to consume digitally enabled healthcare services (digital inclusion).

A digitally enabled healthcare system is a key recommendation of the Health and Disability System Review / Hauora Manaaki Ki Aotearoa, including the use of technology to enhance a person’s wellbeing, experience of healthcare, improving equity, access, quality and timeliness of healthcare solutions.



The Ministry is seeking responses from primary and community healthcare organisations who can deliver projects that build on the momentum in the use of digitally enabled health services, within the context of a general practice and/or community setting.

We are looking to increase the availability of digitally enabled health services. We are particularly interested in services that offer a good prospect of improving uptake by consumers and providers within the context of a primary care or community setting.

The Ministry is interested in responses proposing digitally-enabled health services that aim to improve access and participation for people who have not traditionally accessed these services - including Māori, Pacific and people who are categorised as high needs as a result of age, geography and/or socioeconomic circumstance. We are seeking innovative approaches to addressing challenges to access and choice in taking part in the healthcare system that leverage data and digital services.
