In defence of Australian Doctor, the e-PIP saga is our front page story this week - "PCEHR deadline chaos". It's about the numbers of practices that have yet to sign up and what that means. And I've got another update this week, hopefully coming out tomorrow. It does reflect the genuine angst in GP land.<brAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17373753358356241898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23447705.post-78947649068678917022013-01-23T10:02:57.172+11:002013-01-23T10:02:57.172+11:00Im afraid all you have demonstrated is that you ar...Im afraid all you have demonstrated is that you are easily misdirected by standard bureaucratic games in which the creation of committees and the ambiguous use of words are daily-used tools in blame shifting.
