The agency has released a request for tender for a "strategic interoperability framework" made up of digital technologies and standards that would create a seamless digital experience for those using healthcare services.
It acknowledged that the healthcare system is currently difficult to navigate in terms of being able to easily access the cost, quality, and availability of various services.
