Not intended to be 'barbed insults'. It is just that Argus is founded on
a different philosophical base. We believe that healthcare messaging is
basic healthcare infrastructure that should not incur profit motive, but
you (and others dont). We are entitled to voice this opinion, just as I
also believe that electricity provision should not be in private hands
and our precious water should not be controlled and traded by city moguls.
Why is it that all of the other parties in this space are now working
on interconnection and (sensibly) supporting the direction set out by
NEHTA and Argus is not?
Initially it was because you refused to work with us on
interconnection. We are supporting NeHTA on their articulated standards
but because interface issues are still issues 'on the table' we believe
that discussion will help derive a good solution.
When Argus/Ross stould up at the recent HL7 web services workshop and
calmly announced he is not in favour of service provider
interconnection and instead wishes to lead off in his own direction
there was audible laughter.
You clearly didnt understand me; yes the 'audible laughter' was from Tom
Bowden. I model resembling the very successful IHE model in the U.S.
can hardly be described as 'his own direction'.
NEHTA compliant approaches are there right now. The fact that
"ArgusConnect"doesn't want to/is unable to deliver them should be
widely understood. All the superb PR spin in the world wont save you
from the consequences of your wish to avert NEHTA led collaborative
development of standards and your quiet and lonely walk into the
wilderness.
Inaccurate, ill-informed and dare I say, twisting of the truth Tom.
Perhaps others can ask Tom some obvious questions about his statement; I
will let it lie.
