Somehow This Seems To Be An Exemplar Of Saying Describing Flogging “A Really Dead Horse”!

This appeared last week:

Opportunity to develop My Health Record best practices for outback colleagues

Date published: Dec 21, 2020, 14:58 PM

Summary

Professional Practice seeks a group of up to 3 Fellows, Advanced Trainees and subject matter experts to join the My Health Record Guide Development Reference Group.

Description

The Development Reference Group will establish a RACP Best Practice My Health Record (MHR) Guide to assist physicians in private practice and in rural and remote settings.

The goal is to provide a user-friendly resource that will enable physicians and practice managers to effectively implement MHR and be rewarded with the benefits of improved patient care and administration efficiencies.

The guide will cover:

  • staff training instructions
  • staff agreement procedures and access templates
  • systems security, access requirements and a password policy
  • policy and procedures, including current regulatory obligations and requirements

The role of the Development Reference Group will be to review and provide guide content.

Key responsibilities include:

  • sharing MHR experience including a 30-minute interview by phone or video conference
  • reviewing and advising on content via email
  • assisting drafting case studies

A key requirement for joining the group is that applicants must have implemented or used My Health Record in practice.

It's expected the development of the resource will take about 4 months.

Members will be eligible for CPD credits.

Really would it not be better to actually make the #myHR a genuinely useful and worthwhile system rather than educating people how to use a junk system that will never really be of much value to anyone?

Just wondering….

A great example of an over-engineer complicated system that is, in fact, a pretty simple concept.

I have a pretty smart camera that also makes phone calls and allows me to surf the internet, use chat and collaboration tools, emails, data and information management, health and wellbeing and the list goes on. Has adoption required this level of training - no

An even better question David is - Why is the RACP wasting its Members' resources on such a futile exercise?
