I read this and thought to myself just how long can all this go on and not be either stably fixed or superseded.
This product – according to the release note – has been under development and improvement since May 2012 – first supporting the PCEHR and then the myHealthRecord messages which were sent/received via HL7 V2.
Reading through the release note one really gets the feeling that there may be simpler and more modern ways of accessing and recording data in the myHealthRecord (and other applications) and that message validation was something that should have been well and truly sorted by now! Maintenance of tools like this is hardly cost free!
Of course going further back efforts in improving clinical messages have a history going back at least as far as 2008 with the Australian Health Messaging Lab (AHML) which I believe is long since defunct.
One really wonders just how long it
will be before secure clinical messaging has become a totally standardised non-problem
that is just used – a medical equivalent of WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal
anyone? Or am I just to naive?
David.
