Thankyou for your constructive input as always. I would be interested to
hear why you believe this to be so, other than that you are a competitor to our
product.

I was wondering if someone could paint the
end user picture for me now
that we will shortly have a secure distributed
electronic health record.
I am sitting in my surgery with Medical
Director in front of me and the
patient beside and have access to lots of
data from my own sweat of the
brow and from those specialists, pathologists
and radiologists to whom I
have referred the patient. The patient tells me
the name of the last
doctor they saw on holiday, the hospital where they
were admitted and
their Australian patient identification number. What's
next? I can see
various scenarios and impediments to their implementation
but would be
interested in those with the vision thing.
For my own
part, I would like *my *medical record to clearly delineate
the "not
invented here data" of which I now have a ?permanent
copy.
