HealthShare

What HealthShare does

HealthShare (previously known as He Rourou Takitahi) is a New Zealand-based shared health services entity that was established in 2001 and is headquartered at 16 Clarence Street, Hamilton. It was originally structured to provide information-sharing, partnership coordination, governance support, technology services, business development, and facilities management to New Zealand's district health boards and public health agencies. The platform operates on Microsoft SharePoint infrastructure, with authentication routed through the hauoraaotearoa.sharepoint.com domain, indicating deep integration with the national health system's technology environment.

Following New Zealand's 2022 health system reforms, HealthShare was acquired by Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand), the national health authority, and is no longer an independent commercial entity. It now functions as an operational unit within the government structure, supporting internal shared services across the country's public health estate. Its employee base of 101-250 staff supports centralized functions for the national health system rather than serving external commercial customers.

HealthShare's business model has transitioned from a shared services cooperative to a fully government-integrated operational platform. There is no external pricing, no commercial customer base, and no independent revenue generation — funding flows through Te Whatu Ora's public health budget. The platform's value proposition is operational consolidation and coordination within New Zealand's public health system rather than market-based competition.

Direct peers

• Medtech Global: New Zealand-based health IT company providing practice management and clinical information systems to primary care and broader health providers. Comparable as a domestic NZ health-IT vendor serving the same national health system ecosystem as HealthShare.
• Orion Health: New Zealand-founded health information exchange and interoperability platform vendor serving hospitals and national health systems. Directly comparable to HealthShare as another NZ-headquartered health information-sharing platform, though operating commercially rather than within government.
• HealthLink (Clanwilliam Health): Health messaging and information exchange provider widely used across the New Zealand and Australian health systems. Comparable as a health information-sharing platform operating in the same trans-Tasman market and serving similar clinical communications use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Oracle Health (formerly Cerner): Major global health IT vendor offering EHR, population health, and health information exchange solutions. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose national-scale information-sharing offerings compete for the same national health system budgets that fund HealthShare.
• InterSystems HealthShare: Health information exchange and interoperability platform from InterSystems, used by national health systems including the NHS. Despite name overlap, it is directly comparable as a vendor offering HIE platforms to large health systems, the same functional category HealthShare serves within Te Whatu Ora.
• Epic Systems: Largest US-based electronic health record and health IT vendor, used by major hospitals and academic medical centers worldwide. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose health information-sharing capabilities overlap with HealthShare's remit at much greater scale and sophistication.
