Suddenly we are seeing all sorts of sessions being funded by the ADHA to encourage lay staff and non medicos to access the #myHR.
Here are some examples.

About the webinar
Close to two billion documents have been uploaded to the national My Health Record system, with more than 100 million uploaded in December alone. With increasing clinical content healthcare providers may have access to more current and up to date information about their patients.
Come and join us for a panel discussion attended by representatives from the Australian College of Nursing, Australian Digital Health Agency and Nurses who have incorporated My Health Record into their daily workflow. There will be opportunity to ask question throughout the session.
This education is CPD accredited and delivered in collaboration between the Australian College of Nursing and the Australian Digital Health Agency.

Just why would a nurse who is providing follow-up care (e.g wound dressing, IV chemo etc.) be wanting to incorporate the #myHR into their workflows? Many of these nurses already have their own mobile systems that are both current and complete to do their job! Besides, these are patients they know well who are being given follow-up care – not someone the nurse is not familiar with or someone who has not been the subject of a proper professional handover. The important thing is the care not looking up the hopelessly clumsy and possibly misleading #myHR!

This event is fully funded and is no cost to participants. Dinner will also be provided by John Flynn Private Hospital.

Given that most specialists have as staff their secretaries etc. what is going on with this? What interest would such staff have in their patient’s #myHR other than curiosity? As for the secretarial staff being funded to dine while hearing about the ADHA strategy, spare me!
Surely this is just about pushing up user numbers and lookups having people using the system who were never seen as users of other than to access their own record. I wonder will we have the practice gardeners and cleaners be encouraged to use the system next?
I wonder how such expense of our taxes is actually authorised?
What a rort!

I think Bettina and the majority of children might have a differing view on fun to be had through technology. I do hope they consulted with the various education departments and parang teacher advisory groups. I assume the ADHA is certified to deal with children and that they are permission before attempting social engineering on my children.
ReplyDeleteThe stupidity of dragging school children into this web of conflicted deceit is mind-boggling in the extreme.

ReplyDeleteMedia release - My Health Record system upgrade to make it easier to set security controls, make treatment needs known and help avoid issues related to medicines
13 March 2020: The My Health Record System is being upgraded on 13 and 14 March to improve usability for consumers and healthcare providers.
Well hope we the taxpayers did not invest to much in this ‘upgrade’. All a bit underwhelming from a user perspective, any pharmacy check-out assistants able o confirm a providers perspective?
ReplyDeleteSame people who jumped ship but stayed on for the money. Hardly inspiring. There is still something going on to be unearthed.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me - How can I jump ship and then stay on for the money?
ReplyDelete"How can I jump ship and then stay on for the money?"
ReplyDeleteWell for a start, think of someone who was COO, resigned, but stayed on as interim CEO, the previous CEO having resigned early December 2019 and departed 17 January 2020.
Either there have been so many high quality applicants that it's been hard to decide who is best - or nobody has wanted to take on the job.
There will be plenty of applicants. The delay will be due to indecision, vacillating, compounded by the impact of COVID-19.
ReplyDeleteTheir problem will be, how secure is the ADHA funding?
If that is in any doubt then signing on a new CEO at $500,000 +or- and then terminating the CEO after the decision is taken to close down the ADHA will incur a very cosly payout and a huge political backlash.
Entirely agree with Dr Ian Colclough. There is a good bet that come July 1 - the process of absorbing ADHA back into the Department will commence. The current acting CEO has some experience in this and will be no stranger to the Machinery of Government undertaking. I am sure parts will be flogged off to DHS and some snippets to government funding beneficiaries like CIRSO.
ReplyDelete@ 10:23 AM and 4:25 PM There is an additional issue to consider. Brendan Murphy is still operating as the Chief Medical Officer. Yet he was meant to commence as Secretary of the Health Department late February. So it seems that someone must be acting as Department Secretary while he remains in the CMO role. Consequently any decision about the future of the ADHA will not be made by the acting Secretary. It will be deferred until Dr Murphy takes up his role a Secretary full-time. Basically, paralysis has set in.
