Track record wins IBM a $23.6 million deal.
The National E-Health Transition Authority (NEHTA) has selected IBM to develop and implement Australia's ehealth authentication system.
The $23.6 million deal was inked yesterday following an open tender process that commenced last September.
IBM was to build the National Authentication Service for Health (NASH), which would use Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), smartcards and readers to control access to sensitive healthcare data.
NASH would allow authenticated healthcare organisations and personnel to exchange information such as referrals, prescriptions, and patients' personally controlled ehealth records (PCEHR).
It would be used by about 600,000 healthcare providers nationwide, and adhere to the National e-Authentication Framework, Gatekeeper PKI Framework and National Smartcard Framework.
