The National eHealth Strategy provides a useful guide to the further development of E-Health in Australia. It adopts an incremental and staged approach to developing E-Health capabilities to:

• leverage what currently exists in the Australian E-Health landscape;
  
• manage the underlying variation in capacity across the health sector and States and Territories; and
  
• allow scope for change as lessons are learned and technology is developed further

The UTas Graduate Medical Profile defines a umber of e-Health competencies for medical gradautes. The Faculty of Health Science is considering core e-Health competencies for all graduates, and the School of Medicine is presently mapping eHealth teaching and learning as part of that process.
