Download the 2026 Australian Share-by-Default Readiness, My Health Record Interoperability & Connected Care Report

Provider-rated readiness intelligence, vendor accountability scoring, and connected care performance insight for Australian healthcare technology buyers

Black Book Market Research’s 2026 Australian Share-by-Default Readiness, My Health Record Interoperability & Connected Care Report gives Australian healthcare executives, CIOs, digital health leaders, clinical informatics teams, practice managers, pathology and diagnostic imaging leaders, compliance officers, procurement groups, consultants, investors, and healthcare technology vendors a clear view of which EHR, EMR, EPR, diagnostic, digital medical record, and clinical workflow platforms are best positioned for safer, auditable, workflow-native digital health exchange.

Based on feedback from 228 Australian healthcare provider respondents, the report evaluates provider confidence, operational readiness, vendor accountability, My Health Record workflow maturity, Share-by-Default preparedness, exception handling, auditability, patient safety-netting, and Australian interoperability alignment.

Why download the report

Australian healthcare buyers are moving beyond basic My Health Record participation toward measurable, workflow-embedded digital health readiness. With Share by Default becoming a practical operating requirement for pathology and diagnostic imaging reports from 1 July 2026, provider organisations need more than vendor reassurance. They need proof of upload capability, exception capture, failure monitoring, retry logic, audit trails, patient communication support, and standards-aligned interoperability.

The report shows where Australian healthcare technology vendors are helping providers convert national digital health policy into safer connected care — and where buyer risk remains high.

Key findings include:

  • 99% of provider respondents believe Share by Default can improve care coordination, reduce information gaps, or support safer consumer access.

  • 92% report a practical readiness gap requiring workflow, audit, or vendor action.

  • The overall Australia Share-by-Default Readiness Index is 67 out of 100, showing a market in active mobilisation but with uneven operational maturity.

  • 94% agree Share by Default will improve care coordination once workflow issues are solved.

  • 92% agree the reform will reduce duplicate requests or missing information over time.
