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.
Quote Of The Year
Timeless Quotes - Sadly The Late Paul Shetler - "Its not Your Health Record it's a Government Record Of Your Health Information"
or
H. L. Mencken - "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."

Has The ADHA Died And Gone To Heaven?
From the ADHA Website at 8:20am Sunday 15 October, 2017.
Are all those staff doing so little that all there is to offer is a SNOMED CT Update?
I wonder what this absence of news for over six weeks means?
Suggestions welcome!
David.

It does seem odd, considering an article in healthnews a few days ago indicated collaboration is the new black. They seem happy to engage with those without an opinion looking for a story any story to keep AI from nicking their job. Interviews and what not are all fine and dandy, but the complete lack of transparency and openness is a big concern. It simply breeds suspicion. A friend who spent time in the NHS was quick to mention this was a repeat pattern of the care.data fiasco. I guess change is hard for some under pressure.
David, spotting this post reminded me I have not looked at the ADHA website for months. At least they are restricting communications and no longer publishing dribble for bribbles sake.
As with a lot that comes from the ADHA, be it secure message exchange, interoperability or transparency, they can spell it but I am not sure they understand it. In the case of collaboration I get the feeling their intent is more towards cooperation based open innovation which is often a temporary situation where one party integrates contributions and controls the product and commercialisation opportunities.
I can only hope Minister Hunt has time to see through this charade
