From a Medical IT Perspective: I am vitally interested in making a difference to the quality and safety of Health Care in Australia through the use of information technology. There is no choice.. it has to be made to work! That is why I keep typing. Disclaimer - Please note all the commentary are personal views based on the best evidence available to me - If I have it wrong let me know!

Visit my blog http://aushealthit.blogspot.com/

This blog has only three major objectives.

The first is to inform readers of news and happenings in the e-Health domain, both here in Australia and world-wide.
The second is to provide commentary on what seems to have become the lamentable state of e-Health in Australia and to foster improvement.
The third, sadly, is now to try and force accountability for the actions of, and the funds spent, by NEHTA. I do not believe the way they are proceeding is good enough.
