Following last year’s AccelerateGOV conference, held in Ottawa in December, Global Government Forum produced a report focusing on how to scale what works and overcome barriers to digital transformation. It is based on panel sessions, presentations and discussions from the event, which is organised by GGF, as well as a survey of 228 of the Canadian public servants registered for it.

BD: Bridging the digital divide
Digitalisation has been a central theme of Bangladesh's national branding for well over one and a half decades. There has been unreserved national consensus across all political hues on digital transformation. The general expectation therefore is for the optimum utilisation of technology and a steady rise in internet penetration. However, the country's march towards digitisation remains uneven, with one section equipped and another left behind.
The latest survey by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) lays bare this imbalance. It shows that 43.6 per cent of people in rural areas use the internet, compared to 75.7 per cent in urban areas, highlighting persistent inequality in access to digital services. Overall, 53.4 per cent of the population is connected to the internet, meaning nearly half of the population is excluded from the digital sphere.

MO: Beyond lip service
Macau has spent the past decade developing its smart city initiatives to enhance urban services, sustainability, and digital infrastructure. Yet, without international certification or recognition, the true impact remains unclear, and experts caution that progress has yet to translate into measurable results.
A city can proclaim itself a ‘smart city’, but the truth is that until it is recognised as such by its peers or accrediting bodies, it may be little more than marketing.
Conversely, a city can improve many of its sustainability indicators, thereby offering better living conditions to its inhabitants, yet it makes little sense to call it a ‘smart city’ if this is done solely by those responsible.

The proposal was ambitious: autonomous delivery robots, sensor networks, heated sidewalks, and a digital layer managing the neighborhood from “the internet up.” At public consultations, residents were given a 1,500-page plan and asked for feedback. One community organizer captured the underlying sentiment succinctly: “They have come up with a project that no one in Toronto has asked them to come up with. It became clear that the project was not simply misaligned with local needs. It was built in reverse. The starting point was available technology, not the actual challenges identified by residents. The result was a technically sophisticated solution in search of a use case.” The project was abandoned in 2020.

How Smart Infrastructure Is Reshaping Modern Cities
Building intelligent, data-driven urban ecosystems.
The cities being built and rebuilt today look fundamentally different from those of a generation ago not just architecturally, but in how they function at every level. Smart infrastructure development is redefining what urban infrastructure means, shifting from static systems that deliver a fixed service to dynamic networks that sense, respond, and continuously improve based on real-time data.
Transportation grids that adjust signal timing based on live traffic flow. Water distribution systems that detect leaks before they become failures. Energy networks that balance supply and demand across thousands of distributed sources simultaneously. These are not future-state concepts. They are operating today in cities across North America, Europe, and Asia—and the pace of deployment is accelerating.

Tech-driven smart cities must shift to governance-led models
Researchers are urging a reset in how smart cities are understood and governed, arguing that urban digital transformation has moved too far toward infrastructure, automation and optimization without enough attention to public value, inclusion and long-term resilience. A new research published in Encyclopedia says the next phase of smart city development will depend less on how many advanced tools cities deploy and more on whether those tools are embedded in systems that protect human well-being, environmental goals and institutional trust.
The study, titled "Human-Centric, Sustainable and Resilient Smart Cities in Industry 5.0", presents a broad conceptual framework for understanding how cities should move beyond earlier technology-led smart city models and instead organize digital transformation around the three core Industry 5.0 values of human-centricity, sustainability and resilience.

The Role of Airports in Smart City Developments
Where sustainability, productivity and efficiency are keywords for businesses and governments, it’s no wonder the concept of a “smart city” is gaining worldwide appeal. The developments aim to create spaces that leverage advanced, interconnected technologies to optimise daily routines, create economic and cultural hubs and raise living standards for all residents of the settlement.
Today, smart cities are no longer flickers in the backdrop of fictional realms. They are settlements in active development across multiple locations globally, as evidenced by the smart city technology market, which projections estimate will grow to over USD 5,000 billion by 2034.

How Digital Twins Are Revolutionizing Smart City Planning?
Cities today are growing faster than ever, but managing them is becoming more complex. Traffic problems, energy waste, and infrastructure challenges are increasing every day. This is where digital twin technology is making a real difference. By using real-time data and AI, cities can plan smarter, reduce risks, and improve how urban systems work.
Managing a modern city is genuinely hard. Millions of people, thousands of systems, and countless moving parts all need to work together every single day. For a long time, the tools available to city planners were not good enough to handle that level of complexity. But things are starting to change, and digital twin technology is at the center of this transformation.

Smart Cities and IoT: Infrastructure, Mobility and Urban Services
Urban environments are undergoing a structural transformation driven by data, connectivity, and digital infrastructure. As cities face mounting pressure from population growth, climate constraints, and resource limitations, technology is increasingly being deployed to improve operational efficiency and quality of life. Within this context, Smart Cities have emerged as a strategic framework for integrating digital systems into urban planning and services.
At the core of Smart Cities lies the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling real-time visibility across infrastructure, mobility networks, and public services. By connecting physical assets to digital platforms, cities can optimize operations, reduce costs, and support more responsive governance. However, the implementation of Smart Cities raises complex technical, organizational, and economic questions that extend far beyond sensor deployment.

Governing by Algorithm: What Smart Cities Are Teaching Us About Power in Liberal Democracies
The current automation of governance is an evolution in the long-standing tension between democratic responsiveness and technocratic executive power.
Across the world, city governments are adopting systems that promise to make urban life smarter. Sensors regulate traffic. Algorithms assign police patrols. Software flags welfare applicants. Cameras recognize faces. To advocates, these technologies offer efficiency, safety, and objectivity. To critics, they threaten privacy and freedom. But the political meaning of smart cities is more subtle than either side usually admits. What is at stake is not simply a clash between technology and democracy. It is the evolution of a long-standing tension inside liberal democracy itself: the tension between democratic responsiveness and technocratic executive power.

CN: Hebei: Feeling the city of the future: In Xiong’an, innovation is born and comes alive
At first glance, the streets of the Xiong'an New Area in North China's Hebei Province look clean and new, yet not particularly remarkable. It is only when driving through them that one senses the pulse of what has been widely referred to in China as "the city of the future." Here, drivers no longer "obey" green lights; the lights "obey" the traffic.
This is no illusion. Behind the so-called "green-wave traffic system" lie more than 20,000 roadside sensors that monitor traffic flow, queue lengths and vehicle types in real time. The data feed into an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered "city brain" that recalibrates signals in milliseconds. As a result, the average number of stops per vehicle has fallen by half, according to official figures.

A.1 Berlin, Deutschland: Workshop zur Validierung von Zwischenergebnissen der Studie „Auswirkungen der Abgabe von Daten gegen Geldleistungen in der Verwaltung“ im BMI
Am 10. Juli 2015 fand im Rahmen der Untersuchung der "Abgabe von Daten gegen Geldleistungen" ein Validierungsworkshop im Bundesministerium des Innern (BMI) statt. In der Veranstaltung stellten Mitarbeiter des IfG.CC eine Methode vor, mit der Behörden die Effizienz der Datenabgabe gegen Geldleistungen analysieren können. Zur Anwendung der Methode wurde ein Erhebungstool entwickelt und präsentiert, mit dem die Behörden die erforderlichen Angaben einfach erfassen und das Ergebnis berechnen können. Ziel des Workshops war es, die Methode sowie die Handhabbarkeit des Erhebungstools zu überprüfen. Neben Vertretern des BMI nahmen Vertreter mehrerer Bundes- und Landesbehörden an dem Workshop teil, die Daten gegen Geldleistungen abgeben. Dabei wurden die bisherigen Ergebnisse und der methodische Ansatz weitestgehend bestätigt. Auf Basis der Hinweise wurden die Methode sowie das Erhebungstool weiter verfeinert und überarbeitet.
Das BMI hat das IfG.CC mit der Untersuchung beauftragt. Im Rahmen der Studie wird analysiert, ob und wie effizient die Abgabe von Daten gegen Geldleistungen ist. Hintergrund ist, dass eine Vielzahl von Behörden Daten gegen Geldleistungen abgibt, während andere Behörden Daten als Open Data kostenfrei zur Verfügung stellen. Zudem wird die Änderung des Informationsweiterverwendungsgesetzes (IWG) die künftigen Einnahmemöglichkeiten für die Abgabe von Daten weiter beschränken. Offen ist, inwieweit sich die Abgabe von Daten gegen Geldleistungen noch lohnt.
Der erste Entwurf der Methode, mit der die Effizienz der Datenabgabe gegen Geldleistungen untersucht werden kann, wurde auf Basis von Expertengesprächen und Literaturauswertungen entwickelt. Anschließend wurde die Methode in einem Pre-Test getestet und weiterentwickelt. Nachdem die Ergebnisse des Validierungsworkshops ausgewertet und die Methode sowie das Erhebungstool überarbeitet wurden, werden im Rahmen der Untersuchung fünf Behörden exemplarisch untersucht. Der Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung liegt auf der Bundesverwaltung. Allerdings soll die Methode auch auf der Landesebene anwendbar sein.
Die Untersuchung der „Auswirkungen der Abgabe von Daten gegen Geldleistungen in der Verwaltung“ wird im September 2015 abgeschlossen.
Für weitere Fragen steht Ihnen Sirko Hunnius (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am IfG.CC, gern zur Verfügung.

One-Stop-Modelle werden seit rund 20 Jahren für den öffentlichen Sektor diskutiert. Der tatsächliche Umsetzungsstand ist jedoch dürftig. Vielfach werden Lösungen implementiert, welche die tatsächlichen Problemlagen der Adressaten nicht treffen. An einem Vergleich der Lebenslage Geburt und Leistungen für Eltern eines Kindes mit Behinderung wird verdeutlicht, wie verschieden die Ansprüche an ein und dasselbe One-Stop-Konzept sind. Daher stellt sich die Frage, wie One-Stop-Government ausgestaltet sein muss, um den Bedarfen unterschiedlicher Zielgruppen gerecht zu werden. Weiterhin wird in dem Beitrag aufgezeigt, wie man zu problemorientierten Lösungen gelangt.

R.1 Viktor Mayer-Schönberger/Kenneth Cukier: Big Data: A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work and Think. - New York: Eamon Dolan / Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013. - 256pp.
We have always used information to make decisions, but there is a radical change taking place. Society is going from a constant shortage of data to a surfeit of information – and this upends everything. That’s big data. It ushers in three big shifts: more, messy and correlations (the book’s chapters 2, 3 and 4). First, more. We can finally harness a vast quantity of information, and in some cases, we can analyze all the data about a phenomenon. This lets us drill down into the details we could never see before. Second, messy. When we harness more data, we can shed our preference for data that’s only of the best calibre, and let in some imperfections. The benefits of using more data outweighs cleaner but less data. Third, correlations. Instead of trying to uncover causality, the reasons behind things, it is often sufficient to simply uncover practical answers. So if some combinations of aspirin and orange juice puts a deadly disease into remission, it is less important to know what the biological mechanism is than to just drink the potion. For many things, with big data it is faster, cheaper and good enough to learn “what,” not “why.”
A reason that we can do these things is that we have so much more data, and one reason for that is because we are taking more aspects of society and rendering it into a data form (discussed in chapter 5). With so much data around, and the ability to process it, big data is the bedrock of new companies.
The value of data is in its secondary uses, not simply in the primary purpose for which it was initially collected, which is the way we tended to value it in the past (noted in chapter 6). Hence, a big delivery company can reuse data on who sends packages to whom to make economic forecasts. A travel site crunches billions of old flight-price records from airlines, to predict whether a given airfare is a good one, or if the price is likely to increase or decrease. These extraordinary data services require three things: the data, the skills, and a big data mindset (examined in chapter 7). Today, the skills are lacking, few have the mindset even though the data seems abundant. But over time, the skills and creativity will become commonplace — and the most prized part will be the data itself.
Big data also has a dark side (chapter 8). Privacy is harder to protect because the traditional legal and technical mechanisms don’t work well with big data. And a new problem emerges: propensity — penalizing people based on what they are predicted to do, not what the have done. At the same time, there will be an increasing need to stay vigilant so that we don’t fall victim to the “dictatorship of data,” the idea that we shut off our reasoned judgment and endow in the data-driven decisions more than they deserve.
Solutions to these thorny problems (raised in chapter 9) include a fundamental rethink of privacy law and the technology to protect personal information. Also, a new class of professional called the “algorithmist” that will do for the big data age what accountants and auditors did for an era 100 years ago, when the cornucopia of information swamping society was in the form of financial data.
What role is left for humanity? For intuition, experience and acting in defiance of what the data suggests? Big data is set to change not only how we interact with the world, but ourselves. Read it, and please tell us what you think.

1.4 Veranstaltungen/Vorträge des IfG.CC / IfG.CC events and lectures
=========================================================================
V.1 Münster, Deutschland: Vortrag beim Seminar „Führung und Management“ der DHPol zum Thema „Interaktiver Funkstreifenwagen der Polizei des Landes Brandenburg. Veränderte Arbeitsorganisation/Kompetenzen und die Konsequenzen für Führung und Management“ am 14. Juli 2015
Auf o.g. Veranstaltung hat Prof. Tino Schuppan, wissenschaftlicher Direktor des IfG.CC, vor angehenden Führungskräften der Polizei an der Deutschen Hochschule der Polizei in Münster zu Konsequenzen für Führung und Management aufgrund veränderter Arbeit durch IT-Einsatz referiert. Am Beispiel des Interaktiven Funkstreifenwagens der Polizei des Landes Brandenburg zeigte Prof. Schuppan zunächst auf, wie sich die Arbeit der Streifenbeamten verändert hat. Der Interaktive Funkstreifenwagen ist ein IT-basierter mobiler Arbeitsplatz für Streifenbeamte, der es u.a. anderem ermöglicht, direkt auf polizeilich genutzte Datenbanken zuzugreifen, ohne die Leitstelle anzufragen. Zudem steht den Beamten ein Laptop zur Verfügung, mit dem Vorgänge direkt elektronisch vor Ort erfasst werden können. Folgende Erkenntnisse machte Prof. Schuppan, basierend auf einer wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung, deutlich:
- Die Arbeitsteilung zwischen Mensch-Mensch sowie Mensch-Maschine wird flexibilisiert.
- Eine Informatisierung führt zu teilweiser Vorstrukturierung von Arbeitsabläufen.
- Der zunehmende IT-Einsatz fördert eine Dezentralisierung von Aufgaben, was zu einer Verantwortungsdelegation führt.
- Durch sich erweiternde Handlungsspielräume steigt die Flexibilität der Arbeit.
- Es entsteht eine neue Art der Professionalität, die das selbstverantwortliche Umgehen mit IT integriert.
- Die Erwartung an mehr Handlungs- und Entscheidungsfreiräume sowie Effizienzsteigerung durch IT-Nutzung erhöht die Motivation. Mangelnde Funktionalität von IT demotiviert entsprechend.
- Durch die flexiblere Arbeitsteilung steigen Kompetenzanforderungen in den Bereichen Koordination, Kommunikation und Selbstverantwortung für das „richtige“ Umgehen mit IT.
Insgesamt machte Prof. Schuppan in seinem Vortrag deutlich, dass der Einsatz von IT die Arbeitsorganisation und Kompetenzen von Polizisten verändert, was wiederum maßgeblichen Einfluss auf Führung und Management hat. Vor allem kommt es zu einer gewissen Abkehr von Hierarchie durch Entscheidungsabgabe „nach unten“, d.h. Führung auf Abstand mit dem Ertragen von Unsicherheit ist notwendig. Weiterhin kommt es durch Visualisierung der Streifenwagen auf einer dynamischen Karte im Leitstellensystem zu einer ressourcenbezogenen statt einer zuständigkeitsbezogenen Steuerung. Im Ergebnis bedarf es einer flexiblen Führungskompetenz, was nicht ohne weiteres gelehrt werden kann, sondern sich größtenteils im Arbeitsalltag angeeignet werden muss. Wirkungen des IT-Einsatzes auf die Polizeiarbeit jedoch sollten Bestandteil der Ausbildung polizeilicher Führungskräfte sein.
V.2 Die IfG-Prozessmanagement-Roadshow – Wir kommen zu Ihnen ins Haus
Schon seit Oktober 2014 richtet das Prozessmanagement-Team des IfG.CC in mehreren deutschen Städten eine Roadshow zum Thema „Sicherung von Fachwissen in Organisationen“ aus. Mit der bundesweiten Roadshow sollen auf der Grundlage der bisherigen Projektergebnisse Unternehmen und öffentliche Verwaltungen einen Einblick in Möglichkeiten und Methoden der Wissenssicherung erhalten. Das wird zunehmend wichtiger, da sowohl durch Stellenwechsel als auch verstärkt durch die demografische Entwicklung Mitarbeiter die Organisationen verlassen und so notwendiges Wissen verloren geht. Sowohl Unternehmen als auch Behörden benötigen daher Lösungen und Konzepte, um die drohenden Wissensverluste aufzufangen.
Die Roadshow-Veranstaltungen sind als Workshops angelegt. An Praxisbeispielen erarbeitet das Prozessmanagement-Team des IfG.CC gemeinsam mit den Teilnehmern verschiedene Möglichkeiten zur Wissenssicherung. Partner der Roadshow sind Kommunen, verschiedene Industrie- und Handelskammern sowie eBusiness-Lotsen aus dem eKompetenz-Netzwerk der BMWi-Initiative „Mittelstand Digital“.
Eckdaten zur Roadshow:
- Dauer des Workshops: ca. 2,5 Stunden
- Teilnehmer: max. 10 Personen aus Unternehmen und/oder Behörden

W.2 IfG.CC, Potsdam, Brandenburg, 27.08.: Prozesspriorisierungs-Workshop
Der Prozesspriorisierungs-Workshop richtet sich an Teilnehmer, die sich mit Themen wie Kostensenkung, Standardisierung und Beschleunigung von Arbeitsabläufen, mehr Service und Transparenz sowie Sicherung von Produkt- und Leistungsqualität beschäftigen.
Anhand einer Prozesspriorisierung werden im Hinblick auf die Zielsetzung bzw. den Problemdruck der Kommune Prozesse ausgewählt, die vorrangig reorganisiert und optimiert werden sollten. Die Teilnehmer des Prozesspriorisierungs-Workshops werden unter dem Motto „Prozess-Potenzial-Screening“ aktiv in die strategische Prozesspriorisierung und -auswahl anhand von Beispielen aus der öffentlichen Verwaltung eingebunden. Ziel ist es, im Vorfeld von Optimierungs- und Reorganisationsvorhaben Prozesse nach ihrer strategischen Bedeutung sowie dem Dringlichkeitsgrad ihrer Optimierung zu priorisieren. So entsteht eine Auswahl an Prozessen, deren Optimierung für die jeweilige Behörde möglich ist und deren Umsetzung Erfolg verspricht.
Den Teilnehmern wird ein Einblick in die Vorgehensweise des IfG.CC bei der Prozesspriorisierung gegeben. Diese wurde in vielen Projekten bereits erfolgreich angewendet und weiterentwickelt. Die Vorgehensweise ist besonders gut geeignet, um Schritt für Schritt zusammen Prozesse in der öffentlichen Verwaltung hinsichtlich ihres Optimierungspotenzials zu bewerten und auszuwählen.
Vorschau auf die nächsten Workshop-Termine (jeweils donnerstags): 27.08., 29.10., 26.11.2015.

E.1 Der IfG.CC Standard Prozesskatalog ist freigeschaltet - mehr als 400 Musterprozesse stehen Ihnen zur Verfügung
NEU: Der IfG.CC Standard-Prozesskatalog - ein Katalog behördlicher Geschäftsprozesse, die auf der Basis eines einheitlichen Detaillierungsgrades und einer standardisierten Vorgehensmethode qualitätsgesichert modelliert wurden.
Lassen Sie sich von uns zu mehr als 400 Musterprozessen und Benchmarking-Prozessen aus allen Verwaltungsebenen (Bund, Land, Kommunen) Informationen und Angebote zuschicken.
Der IfG.CC Standard Prozesskatalog umfasst eine Sammlung von aufbereiteten Geschäftsprozessen, die auf langjähriger Arbeit im Bereich Prozessmanagement basiert. Die Geschäftsprozesse wurden auf der Basis einer standardisierten und qualitätsgesicherten Vorgehensmethode und einem einheitlichen Detaillierungsgrad erhoben. Sie sind in einer einheitlichen Notation beschrieben und modelliert. Bei der Prozessoptimierung wurden Good-Practice-Beispiele aus der nationalen und internationalen Praxis berücksichtigt.
Aufgrund vieler Nachfragen haben wir uns entschlossen, diese Prozesse einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen.
Interessenten werden durch Nutzung dieser Geschäftsprozesse in die Lage versetzt, in sehr kurzer Zeit einen großen Schritt in Richtung der Standardisierung bzw. Optimierung von eigenen Geschäftsprozessen und der Einführung von Prozessmanagement in ihrer Organisation zu machen. Denn die Prozesse können meist ohne weiteren höheren Aufwand an die eigenen Organisationsstrukturen angepasst und übertragen werden.
Eine Begleitung durch das IfG.CC bei der Umsetzung der optimierten Prozesse ist ebenfalls möglich. Fragen Sie uns - eMail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

2. Schwerpunktthema des Monats/Key Issue of the Month:
"E-Government in Australien / E-Government in Australia"
=========================================================================
Bereits seit Mitte der 90er-Jahre wurde E-Government als Organisationsansatz in politische Programme und strategische Ansätze Australiens aufgenommen. Die australischen Behörden auf Bundes- (Ebene des Commonwealth) sowie Landesebene (Staaten und Territorien) zählten zu den internationalen Vorreitern im Bereich E-Government.
Das Parlament Australiens hat kürzlich ein Gesetz verabschiedet, das es ermöglicht, bei der Einreise in das Land biometrische Daten von Besuchern und australischen Bürgern zu erfassen. Im Gesetzentwurf selbst ist nicht festgelegt, welche biometrischen Daten erfasst werden sollen, in der Begründung zum Gesetz werden aber "Gesichtsbild, Fingerabdrücke und Iris" benannt.
Ein weiteres wichtiges Thema ist die Gesundheitsversorgung. Australien war eines der ersten Länder weltweit, das sich intensiv mit dem Thema eHealth beschäftigte. Über den nächsten Schritt –mHealth, d.h. mobile Gesundheitslösungen – wird aktuell debattiert. In einer Studie von Frost & Sullivan wird festgestellt, dass in diesem Bereich noch erhebliches Wachstumspotenzial besteht. Bisher werden Applikationen von den Anwendern vorwiegend dazu genutzt, Daten aus Sport- und Wellness-Aktivitäten zu erfassen und zu analysieren; für die Überwachung des Verlaufs und der Behandlung bei chronischen Krankheiten sind erst einige Pilotprojekte aufgesetzt. Die Durchsetzung von elektronischen Gesundheitslösungen insgesamt wird oftmals durch mangelnden Datenaustausch und die fehlende Kommunikation zwischen den beteiligten Akteuren (u.a. Hausarzt, Pflegepersonal, Pharmazeuten, Notärzte) behindert. Schätzungen gehen davon aus, dass ca. 230.000 Personen pro Jahr in Australien in Krankenhäuser eingewiesen werden müssen, weil ihre Medikation nicht stimmt bzw. weil Medikamente verordnet werden, deren Wirkungen sich gegenseitig negativ beeinflussen. Ziel sollte es sein, die Datenbanken und Informationssysteme so zu vernetzen, dass Informationen problemfrei ausgetauscht werden und so die Potenziale von eHealth tatsächlich ausgenutzt werden können.
Über diese und weitere aktuelle E-Government-Entwicklungen in Australien können Sie sich in dieser Ausgabe des Infobriefs informieren.
2.1 Australia to capture biometrics at the border under new law
Criminals getting in without Australia knowing about their convictions
Australia's Parliament has passed a law that will make it possible to collect biometric data, from citizens and visitors alike, at the nation's borders.
The Migration Amendment (Strengthening Biometrics Integrity) Bill 2015, an amendment to the Migration Act of 1958, is explained as an effort to “streamline seven existing personal identifier collection powers into a broad, discretionary power to collect one or more personal identifiers from non-citizens, and citizens at the border.”

2.2 Is Australia ready for mobile health?
Mobile health can be an effective tool to address Australia’s healthcare challenges, however, adoption is fraught with obstacles and continues to be skewed towards consumer ended offerings, research analyst firm Frost & Sullivan said in a report.
A key issue is access to timely and, which it says can potentially be addressed by enhancing and improving communication between providers and patients using mobile health (mHealth).
The research firm estimates that almost 15 million Australians are connected through a smartphone and the market was worth $1.4 billion in 2014. It is projected to rise to $2.18 billion in 2019 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3 percent during this period.

2.3 Slow progress on e-health causing medication misadventures
The hospitalisation of thousands of people each year could be prevented if their health providers shared information electronically, but they can't because their software systems do not talk to each other.
About 230,000 people are admitted to Australian hospitals every year as a result of medication misadventures.
The federal government's top advisor on e-health said poor communication between nurses, GPs, emergency staff, pharmacists and other health professionals resulted in thousands of preventable hospitalisations and deaths because patients were doubling up on medication or taking the wrong drugs.
Steve Hambleton has called on the IT companies contracted to work on the billion dollar national health database to make their messaging systems compatible, or the government's $500 million dollar e-health scheme cannot move forward.

2.4 Health e-record opt-out trials to cost $51 million
Price tag for million-person experiment revealed.
The Department of Health has revealed it expects trials of opt-out electronic health records to cost $51 million over the next four years.
Health received a pool of $485.1 million in the 2015 budget to pay for a renewed push to create personal electronic health records, which has been rebranded My Health Record.
The government revised its approach to the rollout of health records in the aftermath of Richard Royle’s investigation into the lower-than-expected take-up of the former PCEHR.
The budget allocation will pay for the continued operation of My Health Record and the transition to new governance arrangements following the abolition of NeHTA.
It will also fund trials of a new opt-out approach to onboarding patients, after the Royle review advised that waiting for consumers to sign up for their own records under the existing opt-in policy was leaving the e-health capability underutilised.

2.5 New South Wales: New Centre for PS data
In an Australian first, the State Government plans to establish a whole-of-Government Data Analytics Centre.
Announcing the plan, Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation, Victor Dominello (pictured) said data was one of the greatest assets held by Government, but when it was buried away in bureaucracy it was of little value.
Mr Dominello said a specialist Steering Committee would be advising on the establishment of the Centre and an industry Advisory Body would assist in guiding its ongoing work.
He said the Steering Committee would include NSW Privacy Commissioner, Elizabeth Coombs; NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer, Mary O’Kane; NSW Customer Service Commissioner, Mike Pratt; and NSW Information Commissioner, Liz Tydd.

2.6 ‘We’ve got people in call centres, almost none of the data is used’
There are no quick wins when it comes to improving public services — technology solutions often fail when the organisational and cultural change is lacking. But the private sector has shown that when data is used well and non-CIO executives become champions, it creates a better customer experience and increased productivity.
While there are “pockets of excellence” within the public sector when it comes to using data to improve customer experience, there is a lot to be learned from the private sector in the way it has done the necessary organisational reform required to back up technology change, says IBM’s Murray Bruce.

4.1. Malta: Digital Agenda scoreboard - Malta strong in infrastructure, weak in digital skills
Malta has placed 12th in the digital agenda scoreboard of the European Union out of 28 countries.
The EU said that in Connectivity Malta is above the EU average. All Maltese households are covered by fixed broadband and all networks provide at least 30 Mbps. The take up of fixed broadband is well above EU average. By the end of 2014, the majority of consumers migrated to fast broadband services.
Nevertheless, Malta needs to improve its performance in mobile, the EU survey found. Despite the fact, that 4th generation (LTE) services were launched here, the take-up of mobile broadband is below EU average. This may be the outcome of the limited harmonisation of spectrum bands, the EU said.

4.2 Estonia: 10 million „e-Estonians“ by 2025!
E-residency rapidly gaining popularity Almost double the initial estimated amount of people have signed up to become e-residents of Estonia since the programme’s launch at the end of 2014.
According to figures released by Ministry of Economic Affairs, as of July, 3,816 applications have been submitted by people wishing to claim e-residency in the country. This is almost double the initial target of 2,000 officials hoped would sign up before the end of 2015.

4.3 Great Britain: Analytics for government: where big data and Big Brother collide
As local and national government increasingly use big-data analytics to improve services, questions of transparency and privacy arise
There is rightfully a lot of hype around e-government. The application of analytics in the private sector has had a significant impact on our lives.
And, at first blush, it seems like a great idea for our governments to be more like Google or Amazon, using data and analytics to deliver improved services more cost effectively, when and where people need them.

4.4 Malta: E-government services need jazzing up
Electronic services are catching up as more and more people discover the convenience of procuring the goods and services they need from the comfort of their home at any time of the day. Electronic banking and e-commerce are achieving significant growth as service providers invest in making their online service more secure and easy to use.
One notable exception in the success story is the take-up of e-government services by the majority of people who actually need these services.

5.1 India: Odisha: GIS-based Data to Speed up Planning
Collation of spatial (longitudinal and latitudinal) data and remote sensing would play a key role in development of mineral-rich and agriculture-based States. Resources such as minerals, land and water bodies can be identified at ease through global information system (GIS) mapping, said Chief Executive of Odisha Space Application Centre (OSRAC) Sandeep Tripathy.
Speaking on the significance of Odisha State Data Policy here on Monday, the 24th August, 2015, Tripathy said GIS-based information will speed up planning and decision making process. It would also prevent duplication of assets on records. After implementation of the policy, the State would have digitised information on its wastelands, forests, water bodies and mineral bearing areas, he added.

5.2 United States: How Telehealth Implementation Policies Vary Across the States
Telehealth implementation policies differ in the wide array of states across the nation depending upon each individual region’s laws. Legislation such as telemedicine payment parity laws and telehealth implementation policies differ in each state while every year brings more rulings and modifications for technology and medical device adoption throughout the healthcare industry.
Some of the key aspects of telehealth implementation policies that states have adopted include deciding on definitions, reimbursement regulations, and physician licensing requirements, according to the Center for Connected Health Policy’s report called State Telehealth Laws and Medicaid Program Policies. For example, there are differences between how certain states define telemedicine versus telehealth.

5.3 Philipines: DOST, DOH to scale up eHealth innovations for inclusive health
The Department of Science and Technology (DOST), through its Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) in partnership with DOH and other institutions, plans to deploy at least 100 more RxBox devices by the end of 2016.
This was revealed in the second eHealth Summit held during the recent National Science and Technology Week celebration at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
RxBox is a device with built-in medical sensors capable of storing data in an electronic medical record, transmitting health information via the Internet upon the consent of the patient, and facilitating tele-consultations.

5.4 United States: California Plans Next Moves for Open Data
Experts discuss the uses of data, data legislation, and the potential for a state data “head honcho."
Efforts to bring open data into, well, the open have touched off widespread discussion as to just where the use of the information is headed, and whether there is a need for expanded oversight and state legislation.
With more government agencies taking on the task of looking at and publishing their data for all to see, technologists and officials are considering whether better defining rules of the game are the next natural steps in the progression.

5.5 Nigeria: Harmonising database will enhance e-governance, says Computer Society
The Nigeria Computer Society (NCS) has said the harmonisation of the national database is a right and fundamental step towards a functional e-government system.
In a statement on Sunday in Lagos, Prof. Sola Aderounmu, the NCS president, said it would assist in the fight against crime, when agencies draw data from the same database.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that President Muhammadu Buhari recently directed the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to harmonise the biometric data.

5.6 India: Digital India: Citizen Services Delivery
Technology enablement that will facilitate Government to Citizen (G2C) interactions can be hugely beneficial. But this can be made to work only if the processes are rationalized, a challenge that must be met and conquered. In the first two articles on Digital India, we looked at the program overview and the challenges in creating the broadband infrastructure to enable the whole program. Once the infrastructure is in place, the objective is to move the bunch of Government to Citizen (G2C) interactions online.

5.7 United Arab Emirates: Online service for UAE visas at ports
The Ministry of Interior, represented by the Naturalisation, Residency and Ports Sector, recently launched an online service to allow GCC residents and their escort to get their UAE entry permits (visas) via the various ports across the country, through the “Fawri” portal on the ministry’s website www.moi.gov.ae. These measures are in line with the Ministerial Decree No 377 of 2014, and in accordance with the required conditions and procedures.
Major General Khalifa Hareb Al Khaili, Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior for Naturalisation, Residency and Ports, indicated that the new service comes in line with the Ministry of Interior’s keenness to keep pace with technology advances in order to expedite passenger movement at the various ports and streamline the visa issuance procedure for passengers before arriving to the country, ultimately saving time and effort for travellers.
