Until such times as they are crushed. I am sure the market will reduce to at most three or four players. Who will they be? Healthlink, eClinic, Medical Objects, ProMedicus, Argus, Medemail? It's looking like the Northern Rivers region is to become part of the Medical Objects camp. I believe the competitive markets favoured by the Feds for service delivery (think worker's compensation, the Jobs Network, Child Care, Aged Care, etc., etc.) may be flawed when it comes to medcomms. Network externalities do not apply to these other areas but in comms it will fairly quickly reduce to one dominant group unless there is insistence that functional gateways between the top few players are maintained. Is that part of the NSW Health contract? David
