How do Australian hospitals and health departments buy clinical speech recognition?
Rarely by an individual clinician. State health departments buy through central ICT procurement
and state purchasing arrangements; local health districts buy within those arrangements; private
and not-for-profit hospital groups buy at group level. Faith-based operators typically add an
ethics or mission review over clinical AI adoption.

Group-level corporate procurement. Faith-based operators typically add an ethics or mission committee review over clinical AI adoption, which sits alongside — not inside — the standard IT procurement path.
