An overview of AARNet’s e-Health Initiatives

There is an increasing call for interaction between the AARNet network and the networks operated by various public and private health jurisdictions across the country. Negotiating connectivity between AARNet and the various heath networks is problematic across all states and across all health jurisdictions. Further comments on the issue can be found here.

AARNet’s work in the area of e-health is a collaboration between AARNet’s Business Development Unit, the members of the AARNet Advisory Committee and in particular its Health Sub-Committee members.

Initiatives in e-Health include those between members and their collaborators and between AARNet and the national health community. They include the formation of a health advisory committee, the conduct of a program of dialogue with the health sector, the conduct of a pilot national health Innovation and Training network the development of collaborations with international R&E networks around e-Health and the support of the national health research community through the AARNet e-Research group.
