Shaping the Future of Healthcare: PHN Launches Health-e Together Digital Care Assessment for 2025

The Hunter New England and Central Coast Primary Health Network (HNECC PHN) is excited to announce the relaunch of the Health-e Together Digital Care Assessment (DCA)—an essential initiative designed to drive digital transformation across local healthcare services. Being implemented across General Practices in 2025, the DCA offers primary healthcare providers a unique opportunity to evaluate their digital capabilities and receive personalised support to advance digital health adoption.

Healthcare providers are invited to register their interest now, with the assessment set to begin on Tuesday 20 May.

Why Participate in the Digital Care Assessment?

The DCA is more than just a survey—it’s a strategic tool that provides valuable insights into the digital maturity of healthcare organisations. By identifying strengths and opportunities across areas such as digital infrastructure, staff readiness, technology use, and leadership, the DCA helps healthcare services prepare for the future of care delivery.

Whether your service is just beginning its digital journey or already leading the way, the DCA provides benefits for everyone. Participants are placed into one of three maturity levels—Foundational, Intermediate, or Advanced—and receive a custom digital health action plan, including practical next steps and recommended resources.

This approach ensures no service is left behind and that support is personalised, equitable, and strategic.

Key Benefits for Healthcare Services:

• Quick and Easy: The assessment takes only 30 minutes to complete.

• Tailored Insights: Receive a maturity assessment and an individualised digital health action plan.

• Practical Support: PHN staff use the results to offer targeted guidance and resources aligned to your current stage of digital readiness.

• Future Readiness: Help your service qualify for future digital health initiatives and pilot programs.

Supporting Smarter, Fairer Digital Transformation

The PHN is committed to using the DCA findings to improve its overall approach to digital change. With a clear understanding of where each healthcare service stands, the PHN can ensure that those with less digital maturity receive the support they need—preventing a digital divide and avoiding over-reliance on a handful of digitally mature providers.

Importantly, the results from the DCA will directly inform future digital strategies and implementation plans, including decisions on where to invest in pilot programs and what support materials to develop.

By participating in the DCA, your service contributes to a stronger, more connected healthcare system—one that’s ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

Who Should Participate?

The DCA is open to General practices and Aboriginal Medical Services across the region.

Whether you’re leading digital innovation or taking your first steps, this is a chance to be part of a region-wide effort to build a digitally empowered health system.
