I have been having ongoing debate with HESA and Medicare over the issue of their individual signatures and card readers They still do not have a Mac compatible card reader .(even if I did want to use one) so in view of the new PIP IT scheme which requires ability to send & receive encrypted messages I suggested to them that I would be financially and professionally disadvantaged and would consider taking legal action :-)
Good on yer, mate.
or maybe I am the only GP who doesnt want to use a card??
I am still waiting to find out how much of a nuisance using my iKey with my individual certificate on it is going to be. So far I haven't had to use it for anything. I have sent a few referrals by encrypted email to the one local specialist who has a digital certificate. My signature on them has been the scanned image in my referral letter template.
I am interested to hear about Horst's openPGP system and will see whether this may be easier still.
Wal, it's great to hear again from one of the pioneers of clinical computing in Australia, and to hear that you're still on the job.
