Here are the results of the poll.
Are The Claims From The ADHA That "Technology delivers social distancing for healthcare in fight against COVID-19" (Press Release 8/4/2020) Pure Nonsense?
Yes 88% (80)No 11% (10)
I Have No Idea 1% (1)
Total votes: 91
It seems a majority feel that the ADHA is not only a spinning organisation but are also not very good at it!
Any insights on the poll welcome as a comment, as usual.
A reasonable number of votes given the Easter holiday.
It must also have been a very easy question as only 1/91 readers were not sure how to respond.
Again, many, many thanks to all those that voted!

Re poll 520, I asked
"I'd be interested in hearing from the 12 who believe #myHealthRecord will make a useful contribution in the present COVID-19 health emergency?"

No response.
I'll ask a similar question re this poll
Could the 10 people who disagreed with 'Are The Claims From The ADHA That "Technology delivers social distancing for healthcare in fight against COVID-19" (Press Release 8/4/2020) Pure Nonsense?' share their insights?
Due to Zoom, Skype and similar technologies, it is reasonable to say that technology has greatly facilitated social distancing as the ADHA has claimed.
HOWEVER, this has absolutely nothing to do with ADHA REGARDLESS of the fact that the ADHA would like everyone to believe that it has.
Let’s not forget the humble telephone. I had a consultation with my GP over the phone. My takeaways
1. I have a learning curve to improve my engagement over such a method.
2. It appears these types of engagement increase workload for the GP, as stated by GP, and as evident in the fact my appointment was 1.5 hours late (a midday appointment).
As for prescribing, again the specs are NEHTA specs and it is all self declaration of conformance so doubt anyone is using them anyway.
So agree, there is evidence that communication tools and analytics are being used, not really in innovative ways just at scale, and would happen without ADHA. In fact you could argue that if PCEHR/MyHR and ADHA had not come to be we might well have a ecosystem that supports clinical interoperability all wrapped in a framework of security and privacy with a sprinkling of ethics.
"that technology has greatly facilitated social distancing" is probably defensible, however, has it affected healthcare? Or population health? There's a big difference.
