AusHealthIT Poll Number 555 – Results – 29th November, 2020.

Here are the results of the poll.

Should The #myHealthRecord Be At The Centre Of Australia's Digital Health Architecture Into The Future As Apparently Proposed By The ADHA?

Yes - It Is Fundamental And Vital For The Digital Health Future 0% (0)

No - It Is A Failed And Overly Expensive Initiative 100% (70)

I Have No Idea 0% (0)

Total votes: 70

A very clear poll – the #myHealthRecord is not the system or idea on which to base the future of Australian Digital Health.

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

A pretty low number of votes.  

It must also have been a very easy question with 0/70 readers were not sure how to respond.

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

David.

How can this be? The CEO of ADHA claims everyone is for the MyHR, but your readership says otherwise? And let’s be frank here, not a lot of people give a hoot so even 80 votes is pretty high compared to CHF surveys, ADHA Twitter followers and even Webcasts like CRC, ADIH and the upcoming Telstra health panel of opinionated individuals on a crusade.

Someone is misleading someone

Some is misleading someone - one seems pretty open and transparent, the other - blackened windows and locked shutters, riff with vested interests and fact free.

This weeks poll David - firstly great topic.

I often wonder if the problem is not if the health sector takes it seriously but rather the health sector does not really understand the issue. If we look at ADHA, lovely one pagers of bog standard security better practice. Could download from a hindered different sources. Where they fail is in laying out the “why”. In part it is probably that they do not understand themselves, easy to state that what and the how question. Without owning the why, there can never be leadership. This is the same with privacy, I see so many throwing privacy principles around with no understanding of what they are talking about.

I suspect the differences in attitude to the #myHealthRecord relates to the importance people place on real evidence. Those the see the #myHR as "wonderful" just believe - without substantial evidence - that it is "a good thing". Those of a more scientific bent want to see the evidence - which the ADHA refuses to provide as far as I can tell.

I would suggest there are parallels in this to the way many behave in issues like 5G and vaccines!

It seems we have a lot of those of a 'scientific' bent reading here!

The My Health Record achieves nothing and does nothing and therefore attracts n attention. It s generally ignored by the general population. Those who promote it either have a vested interest or believe the government's spin. Those who are against it do not necessarily understand it but fear the government's motives. Only very few actually understand the hollowness of the promises and the reality of what it in (or more importantly not in) the thing and what is required by people to make it even marginally useful.

The government is conflating apathy with acceptance in the same way that recent report claims it being good legislation and good policy. Nobody has complained about it because nobody cares.

ADHA appears to have redlined their website. And away we go.......

Have a look at the ADHA webpage where you can download board papers.

Oh, that's right, there isn't one. Maybe that's why they redesigned the site - so that they could increase the flash and reduce the transparency.

All fur coat and no knickers.

There is this - Statement of Expectations and Statement of Intent - can be found under the ‘about us’ page. It is clear ADHA will maintain MyHR and stay away from any leadership roles.

Might want to do a bit more testing on the site.

I believe the correct term is - a eunuch in a kilt.
