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.

I Would Award The Hon. Peter Dutton M.P. An F- For His Performance In E-Health!

The story:

He gets into office as Health Minister - kicks off a six week review of the PCEHR - releases it 6 months later and is yet to actually to provide a Government response 8 months later!

In passing leaves industry and Standards setting out in the cold and fails to properly evaluate what has been delivered for the $1.0 Billion or so!

F- is generous - but as low as the scale goes.

As for the co-payment debacle - his change of job says it all!

God help all those poor asylum seekers and refugees.

Here is a profile of the new Health Minister:

I am interested to know how right-wing Peter Dutton is. Is he a hard-rightist or is there a modicum of humanity about him?

No, 'F' is correct. In fact its F-35, as in the model of the new 12 Billion Dollar collection of fighter planes we must now have. He knows his priorities...
