At a cost of $159.6m, the deal is separate to the 10-year $163m contract which will deliver the single digital patient record.
NSW Health has renewed its $159.6 million public cloud infrastructure contract with Amazon Web Services for another three years.
The deal is part of the department’s multi-cloud strategy which underpins and enables the delivery of ICT and digital health services across the state.
The extension is separate to the 10-year, $163 million contract with AWS which will deliver the department’s upcoming single digital patient record (SDPR).
“Cloud hosting is already supporting key health initiatives such as the enterprise data lake, Telestroke program, cloud-based contact centres, and the electronic Medical Record (eMR),” said a spokesperson for eHealth NSW.
