Section 1: Entity Overview and Resources
1.1 Strategic Direction Statement
The Australian Government is committed to the delivery of a national shared digital health record system to deliver safer, more efficient and effective quality health care.
In the 2015-16 Budget, $485 million was announced for the redevelopment and operation of the national digital healthcare system in Australia and delivery of the My Health Record program. A significant part of the program is the establishment of the Australian Digital Health Agency (Digital Health Agency) for the ongoing development and operation of the national digital healthcare systems. The Digital Health Agency will become operational from 1 July 2016.
The Digital Health Agency is the national body which will have responsibility for the strategic management and governance responsibilities for the national digital health strategy and the design, delivery and operations of the national digital healthcare system. The Digital Health Agency will provide the leadership, coordination and delivery of a collaborative and innovative approach to utilising technology to support and enhance a clinically safe and connected national health system to improve health service delivery and health outcomes for the Australian community.
The Digital Health Agency will perform the following functions:
· coordinate and provide input into the ongoing development of the National Digital Health Strategy;
· implement those aspects of the National Digital Health Strategy that are agreed or directed by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Health Council;
· develop, implement, manage, operate, continuously innovate and iteratively improve specifications, standards, systems and services in relation to digital health, consistent with the National Digital Health Work Program;
· develop, implement and operate comprehensive and effective clinical governance, using a whole of system approach, to ensure clinical safety in the delivery of the National Digital Health Work Program;
· develop, monitor and manage specifications and standards to maximise effective operation between public and private sector digital healthcare systems;
· develop and implement compliance approaches in relation to the adoption of agreed specifications and standards relating to digital health; and
· liaise and cooperate with overseas and international bodies on matters relating to digital health.
The Digital Health Agency is a Corporate Commonwealth Entity under the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. The functions of the Digital Health Agency are set out in the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Establishing the Australian Digital Health Agency) Rule 2016.
1.2 Entity Resource Statement
Table 1.1 shows the total funding from all sources available to the entity for its operations and to deliver programs and services on behalf of the Government.
The table summarises how resources will be applied by Outcome (Government strategic policy objectives) and by Administered (on behalf of the Government or the public) and Departmental (for the entity’s operations) classification.
For more detailed information on special accounts and special appropriations, please refer to Budget Paper No. 4 – Agency Resourcing.
Information in this table is presented on a resourcing (i.e. appropriations/cash available) basis, whilst the ‘Budgeted expenses by Outcome’ tables in Section 2 and the financial statements in Section 3 are presented on an accrual basis.

Interesting points:
1. Outline of just what the ADHA is expected to do.
2. The staffing is planned to be 51 people - which is a lot less than NEHTA.
3. An majority of the outgoings are to suppliers (($100M p.a.)
4. It is not clear what has happened to the old NEHTA reserves and who is paying for all this - States / Commonwealth etc.
Other ideas on what is seen here are welcome.
