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.

Senate #myHealthRecord Inquiry Alert!
I am hearing the report(s) due on Friday may be delayed until next week.
Problems related to complexity, the number of submissions and so on.
Maybe the complex issue is a result of a realisation that the ADHA has painted the Government into a corner. The question of how to safely move from the out dated MyHR to some new future was never asked, how do you safely close down the MyHR? What to do with all those mounting risk files? How does MyHR co-exist with other competing consumer/provider solutions?
If the reports about the government rejecting established science and the rest of the world's opinion about coal and climate change, this lot will just ignore anything adverse in the Senate reports. Bring on the election. If the incumbent government isn't thrown out on its collective ears, then this country deserves all it gets.
Whats the procedure for getting a further extension? Do they have to 'ask' in the Senate? If so that would be an issue, they don't sit again until next week.
Clearly the committee has been stunned by the very large number of submissions they have received and the sheer volume of concerns and issues that have been raised over years and which have never been satisfactorily addressed.
Of course they are overwhelmed - I'm sure they didn't expect such a response when they called for an inquiry

ReplyDeleteWhy can't they just earn their money for a change and meet the deadline? That's what they expect of public servants, time and time again - NO EXCUSES.
