It is not hard to write ideas you understand down clearly - so my conclusion was that all this is a reflection of not knowing what they are on about!

However some of David's criticisms may be a little harsh. For example "User skills" in para 3 may refer to GPs, not the public. <br /><br />Two things which this submission fails to say clearly (and which I think should be central) are:<br /><br />1.

The problem at the moment is that the standards are highly technical but that will change rapidly: standards will become focused on what we want to share in eHealth and who can offer what services under what conditions.<br /><br Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980652534660673891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23447705.post-13928969043265415122011-01-31T08:37:52.818+11:002011-01-31T08:37:52.818+11:00The RACGP has demonstrated it is quite ineffectual...The RACGP has demonstrated it is quite ineffectual when it comes to advancing ehealth in primary care. Its goals and objectives for ehealth are ill defined without which they have no compass and no map with which to demonstrate they know which way to head.<br /><br />They have had plenty of opportunity and many years to get their act together on ehealth both of which have been wasted.
