The national Shared Digital Health Record (SDHR) service will now go live in mid-2026, following an early adopter pilot planned for late 2025.
The service was originally due to go live in June of this year but this was pushed back until December 2025 to give more time for engagement with primary care providers and patients.
The latest update from Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora says the new proposed timeline is for a national launch in mid-2026 with an early adopter pilot in late 2025 and practice information sharing to start in early-mid 2026.
