I said what was needed and your comment seemed to imply it was possible. I disagreed with that. If you read back in my blog you would have known I think that fixing is impossible!

But by what process can the system actually be made fit for purpose? Or is it too far developed to rectify the inherent faults within, is the architecture based on the wrong approach to the system design?<br /><br />Even more importantly who will take Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23447705.post-2476440362258852402015-10-18T11:48:09.042+11:002015-10-18T11:48:09.042+11:00At a national scale there is none I know of - inde...At a national scale there is none I know of - indeed even at state / province levels I can't think of any.<br /><br />There are one or two examples of near government scale organisations (e.g. Kaiser) getting it right with commercial software - often on the second or third attempt!<br /><br />David.<br />Dr David G More MB PhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902724829795199526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23447705.post-31540034244315549922015-10-18T11:43:07.805+11:002015-10-18T11:43:07.805+11:00Does anyone know of a government designed and buil...Does anyone know of a government designed and built eHealth system that has worked? Unless there are examples throwing good money after bad seems like a definition of madness. Another $500,000,000 to protect the egos of a few public servants is scandalous. How do we force some sort of proper review of this? Is it possible to force a review from some sort of ombudsmen?.

The monumental UK disaster ($20+ Billion Australian)proves that point. ePIPs directed at PCEHR also will not make any difference.
