Hi David,
Please go to www.cchit.org (if you haven't) and see how the yanks
are doing it..planned, reasonable and not too expensive for most
except the open-source people - for whom I think there should be a
fee exemption.
Their style of effort would do much, if transferred here, to make
things better - not perfect..but a place to start building I reckon.
In September 2005, HHS awarded CCHIT a three-year contract to develop
and evaluate certification criteria and create an inspection process
for HIT in three areas:
* Ambulatory EHRs for the office-based physician or provider
* Inpatient EHRs for hospitals and health systems
* The Network components through which they
interoperate and share information
Given that they appear to be embarking on the beginning of this
journey, I look forward to the output of the process.
The history in australia is well known.
Ian.
