Australian Health Information Technology

This blog is totally independent, unpaid and has only three major objectives.
The first is to inform readers of news and happenings in the e-Health domain, both here in Australia and world-wide.
The second is to provide commentary on e-Health in Australia and to foster improvement where I can.
The third is to encourage discussion of the matters raised in the blog so hopefully readers can get a balanced view of what is really happening and what successes are being achieved.

Standards Australia Lets The Side Down Badly. What On Earth Gives?

In researching one of the other blogs this weekend I had occasion to visit the Standards Australia e-Health Site.

You two can visit it at:

http://www.e-health.standards.org.au/Home.aspx

There was only one glaring problem. The site is just unusable with Firefox 17. Just awful!

Interestingly the site looks just fine on both IE 9 and Safari (via an iPad).

What this means to me is that the web site has not been developed to appropriate international standards.

One question - just why would that be from Standards Australia?

Amazing!

David.

Humm,

I tied it using Firefox 16.02 and it was fine, but didn't display properly when I upgraded to 17. Question in my mind is it a Firefox or an SA problem?

Ta,

Very interesting. Need to wait till 17.01 and see if it fixed. I certainly used the site ages ago and it was fine - but was a different version of the site to the one in place now.
