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.

AusHealthIT Poll Number 150 – Results – 13th January, 2013.

The question was:

Do The Government's Approaches To E-Health Have An Adequate Focus On Improved Clinical Outcomes Rather Than Reducing Health System Costs and Improving Efficiency?

Yes - They Really Care About Patients 12% (7)

Possibly 9% (5)

Probably Not 18% (10)

No - They Just Worry About Money 51% (29)

I Have No Idea 11% (6)

Total votes: 57

Very interesting. It seems a good majority think the NEHRS / PCEHR may not be a clinically driven program. It is hard to disagree.

Again, many thanks to those that voted!
