Hi Tim,
Not quite what Enrico has in mind - but better than nothing - as largely functionally

The US only started this effort about a year ago..so I wonder why all the claims it is too
hard to do.
It seems (to me) that there is an article of faith amongst health
informaticians that it is really hard to do things. Also that it will
cost a lot of money. "Things" and "it" refer to any and every health
informatics-related project ever done or contemplated by anyone, anywhere.
Tim,
I think that you're making an overstatement.
It seems to me that the key to what has happened in the US is that
government there has listened to someone and acted.
Now that's often hard to achieve.
Lots of things do cost serious money, and there are several recent
instances of AHS not collaborating on good projects for lack of it.
The reporting framework for divisions that will involve us in data
extraction has no money for divisions, so where will the qualified
people to mess with practices' computer systems come from?
