Thanks Greg but by the sounds of it the only people doing anything in hospital to GP data transmission are Central Coast. VPNs are all very sexy but won't by themselves drop formatted data into Medical Director and, let me be clear, this is the only thing that matters. Anyone got the goss on what Central Coast and their hospitals can do? > The Alliance of NSW Divisions is going to try to get some $$ from the > Managed Health Networks proposals that DoHA announced late last year. > The shape of that project is still being determined.
