AusHealthIT Poll Number 541 – Results – 23rd August, 2020.

Here are the results of the poll.

Who Do You Principally Blame For The Present Difficulties, Confusion and Delays In The Roll Out Of eScripts?

The ADHA 76% (68)

The MSIA 6% (5)

The GP Software Providers 3% (3)

The Dispensing Software Providers 2% (2)

GPs 0% (0)

Pharmacists 4% (4)

A Blend Of The Above 4% (4)

Someone Else 1% (1)

The Is Absolutely No Problem / Issue(s) 1% (1)

Its Not Clear / I Have No Idea 2% (2)

Total votes: 90

A pretty clear poll with 76% of readers saying the ADHA is the principle culprit for the difficulties.

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

A reasonable number of votes.  

It must also have been a slightly tricky question with 2/90 readers were not sure how to respond.

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

David.

I am frustrated that my Medical software cannot do eScripts, nor ePathology ordering, especially in this time of Coronavirus, and to see that 2 to 3 out of the major 4 can, is a concern. The software developers should prioritise these in this Pandemic time, as well as online payment portals.

To achieve that you need compliant message creation/terminology with both senders and receivers, then you can start work, but we have gone nowhere on compliance in last 20 years so no progress....

Gone nowhere on compliance in the last 20 years!!!!!!!!

Some might find that hard to believe. Politicians and their bureaucrats certainly find it hard to believe because they know that billions of dollars have been spent and there some progress must have been made.

Those of us who have deep knowledge of the healthICT space know that what A drew says is true. 20 years going no-where !!!!

Politicians and their bureaucrats and their advisers believe the simplistic messages put out by so called consultants. Check out BCGs activities protecting their patch re Covidsafe and ANU
