Health Network The New Zealand Health Network was officially launched in 1999 as the Health Intranet and was adopted initially by primary care organisations as a secure way of communicating health information over the internet. In 2001, when District Health Boards came into existence, it was adopted by them for access to national systems. In 2005 the network was renamed "New Zealand Health Network". The New Zealand Health Network has continued to grow and now has 1200 organisations signed up. The network provides health organisations with a wide range of capabilities; such as, access to the NHI and HPI, access to Pharmac Special Authorities, access to and provision of data to HealthPAC payment systems. Furthermore users of these systems do not have to be aware of the technical intricacies of network security - under the NZ Health Network, the network providers are accredited and must provide a secure environment in accordance with agreed standards prior to any further approval process.
