ACIITC describes the co-development of a digital maturity assessment and practice implementation framework enabling providers to assess their level of digital maturity and develop a tool to plan organisational improvement.

This ACIITC commissioned report describes the findings of from a systematic search and evaluation of the literature with the aim of identifying potential comprehensive geriatric assessment systems (CGAs) for use within Australian aged care.

These fit-for-purpose guidelines developed by the ACIITC, in collaboration with ADHA, ACSA, LASA, AHPA and ANMF, are designed to support aged care providers to register, connect and use My Health Record within their service delivery. Version 3 of the My Health Record Guidelines in RAC are now available.
