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.

You Have To Think The MYEFO Budget Problem Will Stop E-Health Spending Big Time!

Given the mess the Federal Budget seems to be in - what chance further spending on E-Heath?

Curious to know what others think.

My feeling - this will be the excuse to cancel the PCEHR Program.

What do you think? About this and the apparent budget mess in general if you wish.

David.

"CABINET ministers have been told to prepare for savage cuts early next year, to stop a surge in government outlays to be revealed today in a budget update that shows no end to federal deficits."

Time to go PCEHR.

The decision (excuse) to stop the PCEHR by the Coalition will be a budgetary one.

It is a shame that it won't be stopped for the real reason.. A flawed system designed by bureaucrats for bureaucrats...

Please hurry and stop the blood sucking consultants from taking any more of our tax payer dollars...

They failed, but yet the win... Go figure...
