Australian Health Information Technology

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.

Department Of Human Services Annual Report Provides Rich Information On The #myHealthRecord - NOT!

Here is what they wrote:

As commented on Twitter by @mpwoodhead:

"Human Services annual report also notable for completely omitting any performance data for the MyHealth Record - no doubt because they are so embarrassingly poor"

Could not agree more! The Department is clearly thrilled about just how well it is going!

Here is the link to the full report:

no mention of the millions of MBS and PBS documents they uploaded to My Health Record.

As far as the rest of government is concerned the My Health Record is like a bad smell in a lift. Everyone is aware of the stink, but nobody wants to mention it.

I look forward with interest to reading the annual reports of the Department of Health and the ADHA.

Would love some insights into why ADHA spent nearly $6M on Microsoft. That is over $18k per staff member, even licensing at $2.5M is excessive for a small time Agency. Clearly the Digital team are a bit naive. Certainly thinking like a tax payer is yet another TK BS line.
