Vendor Responsibility Minimize
In order for a vendor to ensure their product(s) are listed as PIP eHealth eligible NEHTA require suppliers to submit a statement of commitment to NEHTA. 

Medical-Objects have made this committment.

This statement of commitment simply represents a commitment by the supplier:
 
-  to participate in the consultation process that will ultimately lead to secure messaging specifications and compliance timelines agreed between NEHTA and industry. Commitment to participate in the consultation process includes through a supplier’s representative organisation such as the Medical Software Industry Association (MSIA); and
 
-  to comply with the specifications and implementation timelines mutually and progressively agreed by NEHTA and industry.
