The Department of Health undertook a two-stage consultation process to inform thinking around primary health care data and the use of electronic clinical decision support systems in primary health care. The two topics have been combined into a single Issues Paper given the overlap in stakeholders and links between primary health care data and eCDS in the broader health care ecosystem. 

This is the CHF submission in response to the Health Issues Paper. Responses were sought in relation to current complex issues around GP data sharing and use of Electronic Decision Support Systems in the context of progress towards a nationally interoperable health system.
