BACKGROUND In Australia, barriers to understanding the continuum of care exist as a result of health data collection by different levels of government and private organisations. This fragments the view of the patient journey as patients move between primary care and acute care services. Several Australian state and territory health departments are pursuing Data Linkage initiatives to help overcome these barriers. For example, the NSW Lumos initiative uses privacy preserving record linkage to link data across primary, ambulatory and acute care, creating a state-wide data collection of patient journeys across the health system. This can be used to inform service design and system improvement. Related initiatives include TasLink in Tasmania and the Queensland Health ATHENA project. In October 2023, Australian federal, state and territory Health Ministers and Chief Executives approved a design phase for National Data Linkage that will enable cross-jurisdictional and federal-state data exchange to provide a whole of health landscape view of patient journeys. This will drive shared learning and inform future program design to facilitate improvements in the level and quality of health service delivery across Australia. The initiative will follow a ‘hub and spoke’ model leveraging the benefit of existing jurisdictional Data Linkage activities where possible. The National Project team is hosted by NSW Health, but applicants do not need to reside in NSW to apply. Team members not resident in NSW will be required to work remotely. Some interstate travel may be required.
