A unanimous vote. The ADHA should not be performing this sort of role!
Any insights on the poll welcome as a comment, as usual.
A good number of votes for some reason.
It must also have been a very easy question with 0/108 readers were not sure how to respond.
Again, many, many thanks to all those that voted!

It is hard to pigeon hole ADHA. As evident they are not clinically savvy or led, comms and marketing is amateurish at best, they are bereft of ideas or innovative and inspiring developments. And looking at the cast of PPM staff they are ill equipped to plan, direct and manage complicated and complex outcomes that ehealth requires. There is even evidence in the public domain the ADHA is unable to manage expenditures.
One challenge I see for business case chasers and project managers in organisations like ADHA is they are locked into conventional wisdom that strategic objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time constrained (SMART). Observing Healthcare embracing technologies as tools I challenge this status quo of SMART. As SMART objectives undervalue ambition, focus narrowly on individual performance and ignore the importance of regular discussion of organisational (including strategic) goals.
To achieve a clear line of sight between strategic objectives and measurable benefits, PPM leaders should instead set goals that are FAST (frequently discussed, ambitious, specific and transparent to everyone).
By making goals FAST rather than SMART, eHealth goals can be embedded in ongoing discussion to review progress, allocate people resources, prioritise initiatives and provide feedback. These objectives should be difficult but not impossible to achieve, translatable into firm metrics that demonstrates clarity on how the national and local efforts will achieve each goal and measure progress, and transparent to everyone within the communities of purpose.
This of course would require significant changes in leadership, funding and how success is understood. The current ways do not work and all we have is failure fatigue and BS.
