It seems a little Senate scrutiny has flushed out some new Board Papers after 10 months.

Board Papers
The intent of the Australian Digital Health Agency Board (Board) is to publish as many Board documents as is feasible. Generally Board papers are published after the minutes for that meeting have been accepted. This is usually at the next Board meeting. When clarification or correction of the minutes is required, publication of the Board papers may be delayed.Board documents that are draft, not finalised or sensitive will not be published.

David.
I went searching the net if Australia was heading in the right direction with eHealth.
ReplyDeleteThis popped up - https://aushealthit.blogspot.com/2010/12/government-is-heading-in-wrong.html?m=1
So we are nearly 2019 and not far off 2020. Could the Senate please request data that indicates we are on the path to have the PCEHR/MyHR saving upto 20000 lives?
And perhaps they could enquirer if the department has succeeded is resolving the grey areas in the infographic. They claim to be agile, so retrospectives are best practice. And a good appertunity for founders to question if it remains a viable product.
I have an extensive collection of references, articles and books, full of the promise of the amazing benefits that will be delivered when IT is applied to health care, the usual application being electronic records of various sorts.
ReplyDeleteThe reality is that the only thing that has gone up is cost. Health IT on its own will not deliver anything of value when the costs and other downsides are taken into account - something that DoH, NEHTA and ADHA have failed to do.
This is from my opening statement to the Senate Inquiry and I think is worth repeating:
"the world of clinical medicine is migrating towards a patient centric model with the development of more advanced and sophisticated test equipment available at the time and point of primary care.
Associated with the need for better data acquisition are analytic, diagnostic and predictive treatment tools integrated with clinical record keeping system.
These applications will not replace doctors; they will make them more effective and efficient. In the same way that engineers are supported by advanced technologies and tools so will health providers.
As these innovative tools become more available, the need for record keeping will drastically reduce. Doctors will have available data on the patient sitting in front of them, not what has been laboriously and inefficiently gathered in the past.
My Health Record has no analytic or diagnostic capability and it is hard to see how they could ever be developed.
The Federal government is stumbling down the path of automating the past. A path that will lead nowhere, which is costing large sums of money that could be better used; a path which is frightening some people to the extent that it could damage their health."
