Oh dear Timmy, your puppet masters will not be happy with him. Still always good to toddle off on a high note and I am sure Bettina will be more than happy to drive you to the bus station.

In reality though I am not sure who has come out better off? The utility of the system as a clinical tool is all but gone, as a population health tool it adds nothing, as a consumer tool it is drab and cannot compete. Give me a clinical cloud solution and an app for my phone thanks.

If you think this will get in the way of Tim Kelsey think again, and while you are thinking perhaps you can ask him to explain this scheduled meeting:

Private Health Insurers and Agency roundtable scheduled for Wednesday 5th December.

The key driver of this workshop is to discuss future opportunities and potential collaboration between the Private Health Insurance sector and the Australian Digital Health Agency in the delivery of the National Digital Health Strategy,2018-22.
The ultimate purpose of the meeting is for both the Private Health Insurance sector and the Agency to discuss and gain a better understanding of each sector’s key strategic priorities and activities and build a platform for ongoing engagement to deliver on expectations and to foster innovation.

Looks on the surface the ADHA is exploring ways to safely, securely and secretly sell your data for favours. Just ADHA turning tricks.

Simple way to resolve any problems would be to publish the agenda, attendees, transcripts, and as they are “digital” stream it live on the web. If they are open and transparent then we can only judge by what we see and hear.
