Health New Zealand’s Economy is tracked with Excel
The body drives 6,000 apps and 100 digital networks
No immediate plans to modernize its systems
A recently published report has revealed that Health New Zealand (HNZ) has been dependent on a single Microsoft Excel spreadsheet as its primary financial management tool.
Established in 2022, HNZ was designed to replace 20 district health councils in the name of cost -effectiveness and service consistency, but so far the body has been dependent on basic spreadsheet software that has been considered unsuitable for purpose.
