Australia is among a few countries that have developed national electronic health (e-health) record systems. From July 1, 2012, Australians can register with the Personally Controlled Electronic Health Records (PCEHR) system. Development of e-health systems is supported by stakeholders in Australia, however, the PCEHR system has been widely criticized. For the establishment of a matured e-health record system, this paper examines current status of Australia's development of e-health record systems, identifies the challenges encountered by the development, and analyses the outlook of the PCEHR system. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014.
