Sharing the right health information at the right time is critical to high quality, sustainable health and care. Australia's National Digital Health Strategy – Safe, seamless and secure: evolving health and care to meet the needs of modern Australia – highlights the importance of connected health services and calls for the definition of standards to support interoperability that will support clinicians, patients and citizens make the best health and care decisions.
The national interoperability consultation – Better connections: Your health, your say – launches on 18 March 2019 and we would be honoured if you would join us for this important milestone.

If what we see is endless advocacy for the myHR we can draw one conclusion. If a more nuanced and reflective approach then maybe another conclusion is possible.
I hope this is recorded as it really is a time trying not to be noticed!
I do wonder how you actually register - any clues please comment!
I wonder is it a secret?

Goodness knows where you spotted it, I can't seem to locate it anywhere, nothing on the ADHA website. Perhaps it's a special camouflage session for invisible non-attendees attending The Digital Health Agency Medicinal Marijuana Farm in Nimbin.
"Sharing the right health information at the right time is critical to high quality, sustainable health and care."
Therein lies the problem. Nobody has defined what "the right health information" is.
The current approach of Digital Health is to gather as much data as possible, throw it into health record systems and hope that doctors can make sense of it. Australia makes it even worse by having two sets of systems - clinical systems and myhr.
It will be up to GPs to decide if all this data collection and dumping is of any use to them. At the moment, the consensus round the world is that it all comes at too much cost and too little benefit. Australia's solution is unique in that it is the worst possible solution.
The real problem is twofold - defining what the "right health information" is and then creating a system that effectively and efficiently manages that data.
The ADHA is doing neither.
IMHO, the future is not a single record keeping system but an interconnected ecosystem of specialist systems.
... and the Guru is?
You must have some pretty strong AI working for you David, I can’t search online for it. I work at ADHA and this is news to me.
Looks like it is a closed shop by special invitation. So it will be the usual entrance criteria - Praise Tim and his gang of four , sing the MHR marching song very loud and take hot crumpet from behind without blubbing.
For something obviously so important this seems to be going off with a whimper, wonder how running a bath works for this lot?
It is being promoted as a 'workshop' so it may well be "a closed shop by special invitation."
Even so, I very much doubt that would be the case because given all the promotion leading to opt-out and the absolute need to be seen to be transparent, inclusive and open, as well as the scrutiny now underway with the ANAO Audit, it would be folly in the extreme not to make the session widely available over the web for all interested parties to observe and learn from.
Also, if I, as a health informatics 'expert', were invited to participate and I found it to be a closed session, under the contentious circumstances now prevailing around the My Health Record I would decline / withdraw from participating as a speaker.
Finally, if The Medical Republic, Australian Doctor, Medical Observer, PulseIT and other interested reporters like Sue Dunlevy, are not permitted to observe / participate I think it would be reasonable to say the ANAO would take a very dim view of this in its Audit Report (assuming of course they are aware it is scheduled).
In fact, given that the Audit is now underway it is more than reasonable to expect the ANAO Auditors would be invited to observe / participate. Perhaps they have been. Perhaps that is what this 'Workshop' is all about - a sales pitch to the ANAO!
Methinks we will learn soon enough.
Stranger and stranger. At least one of the participants was a little startled to find the session was an apparent webinar.
David.
This is only a launch. The real work will get done elsewhere and at some other time.
Note that this project is in response to "calls for the definition of standards to support interoperability"
In other words it is only a tiny part of the full problem. It would be nice if they knew what the full requirements for interoperability are, but they've never done things in the right order before, why should we expect them to do so now?
If they had done things in the right order they would have solved the interoperability problem before releasing the PCEHR - which NEHTA said needed to happen as part of the critical supporting infrastructure. You know, like NASH.
They didn't do it then and they may well not be able to do it now.
Just seems all very muddled and half arsed. Launching Monday and this is all there is leading up to it? Who from ADHA is taking on interoperability? Standards by them selves won’t deliver interoperability. Anyone received an invite? There are subtle differences between webinars and webcasts.
At least they are using Redback, someone had a stroke of genius.
"definition of standards to support interoperability"
That's an interesting take. I would have thought that the whole purpose of standards was to enable inter-operability. If you actually have compliance with standards then inter-operability is possible at whatever level of detail the standards and testing covered.
Currently the best analogy I can think of is that everyone was given a picture of a 3 pin plug and they all went off an built plugs and sockets, but there were no engineering drawings or wiring diagrams or testing. Trying to plug things together either doesn't work or causes fires to break out. I don't think anyone is any position of influence in the ADHA has any idea about the concept of engineering drawings or wiring diagrams. I mean that's geeky techo stuff that managers don't need to know about, right?
@8:03 AM My deep concern is that the people listed to speak have allowed themselves to be seduced into promoting and perpetuating misguided myths and misinformation to give the ADHA and the My Health Record some semblance of credibility in order for them all to remain relevant.
Just one more crack at the fruit machine, might get lucky and get a win this time and things will change for the better.
There are plenty who are less than deserving suckling the public purse, I am happy enough to see a few remaining value-adds pickup a cheque or two. We all have to eat, sleep and be weary.
