The ADHA Has Dropped Any Pretence Of Transparency And Openness After Almost Two Years!

If you go to the 'About The Agency Board' page that used to have a link to the Board Papers - it has vanished!

See here now:


And, guess what, the page that used to access the Board Notes has vanished.

What you get is:

For reference the last CEO Report is dated December 2018.

I guess they had to get rid of the link(s) once it was pointed out how dated they were and how their obstruction was being emphasised! The ADHA really is quite a piece of work and the Board should be ashamed that something that began with such hope has been allowed to fail so totally!

What a lamentable failure of what is fast becoming a lamentably unaccountable organisation!

David,

To add to your list of missing information, the last annual report was 2018-19, published 12 November 2018
https://www.digitalhealth.gov.au/about-the-agency/publications/reports

The last Conference Report was October 2015
The last Interoperability report was yet another review, delivered by an external consultant, dated January 2020. Before that the latest report was 2017.

The My Health Record statistics by Primary Health Network (PHN) published by the Department, based upon ADHA data
https://www1.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/PHN-Digital_Health
got stuck in May 2019

Rigor motis might be the best description of the state of this agency.

The reckless disregard for Commonwealth Record Management begs the question - why are the managing records of people health information. There is obviously a culture of ‘who cares - bin’
