AusHealthIT Poll Number 509 – Results – 12th January, 2020.

Here are the results of the poll.

What Are You Expecting Overall For Digital Health In Australia In 2020?

A Better Year 6% (5)

Much The Same 51% (39)

A Worse Year 43% (33)

I Have No Idea 0% (0)

Total votes: 77

Well that was clear in the sense that it is obvious we are not seeing overall optimism for the new year in Digital Health and that people are far less optimistic regarding Digital Health than more generally from the week before.

Any insights on the poll welcome as a comment, as usual.

A very reasonable turn out of votes given the Holiday season.

It must have been a very easy question as 0/77 readers were not sure how to respond.

Again, many, many thanks to all those that voted!

David.

Assuming this is at a national and state level. Nationally the ADHA will fumble about in the dark. Only to emerge with the same forward plan since 2008. If the current recruitment pattern is an indicator then Brisbane offices are looking surplus to requirement. Might indicate a return to government for them. That would support Bettina remaining, as an interim CEO she again can oversee a transition.

At a state level Qld will continue to suffer the results of a legacy of poor IT leadership. Ranging from iEMR to ERP and everything between. NSW run of good fortune will suffer a result of overconfidence. The southern and western states will continue as usual (can't get any worse?).
NT is discovering just how good the previous Health CIO was at playing COAG.

So we have a few years ahead before things start to turn around I am afraid.

The above strikes me as pretty close to right!

11:11 am is pretty accurate with the bit about Brisbane. Our executive has been clear in his hints that we should look to recruit in NSW or ACT.
