To me the italicised paragraphs are the important ones.
We discover that the Corporate Services Division has essentially been blown up and begun afresh and that it needs a leader – presumably after the prior Kelsey appointee has gone to join his master.
There is also a tacit admission that he work-place culture has been pretty sub-par and needs a new approach. This confirms just what the commenters on the blog have been saying for the last 18 months or so…
Staff development also seems to be an area where increased focus is required.
I do wonder what “the next wave of innovation in digital health to support the health of Australians into the future” might be!
Lastly there seems to be an emphasis in external relationships. I wonder does that mean more openness and transparency etc. That would be a good thing so we can avoid playing the games trying to understand what is going on!
All in all “verrry interesting” as Sgt Shultz of Hogan’s Heros would say!
David.
Nice to know they are concentrating on administrative, bureaucratic matters.
ReplyDeleteNot a word about experience working in health or information systems environments, or even the public sector.
Looks like another decade of non-progress coming up. Even Pulse+IT is questioning the usefulness of the ADHA.

ReplyDeleteWrong executive David, the former COO and current acting COO are responsible for the mess. In no small part in undermining the previous executive who did not to bad a job against these underhanded back stabbing ....... plus some team members let him down
Seems clear between the lines - ADHA is being structurally refactored to be compliant with APS norms. This will be the first step in some larger public service plan. Perhaps the MyHR will move under services Australia. The Department of Health will return to policy and the MyHR will dock alongside other out dated juggernauts to gentle rust away.
ReplyDeleteVIBRANT AND DYNAMIC AGENCY POISED FOR ACCELERATION -kind of sums up the dumbness that is ADHA.
ReplyDeleteDoes the PM, the Health Minister, the Health Secretary, the State Health Ministers, actually believe this incredible bullshit?
ReplyDeleteThe ADHA "leads, coordinates and innovates, in partnership with the health sector, across jurisdictions and with health consumers, to design and deliver seamless, safe and secure digital health services ..."
It is sufficient for the The PM and others mentioned just TO BELIEVE that that is what the ADHA has been set-up to do; it matters not that the ADHA doesn't actually actually deliver anything.
