So the argument for serious functional certification and
accreditation of GP (and specialist and hospital) systems firms.
I wonder is NEHTA (or anyone else) getting its / their act
together on this?
***
NEHTA has explained to me that it can't give the names of GPs working
for it, for "obvious privacy reasons". Apparently it is a
government-funded organisation that operates in secret. Does this put
it into the same category as ASIO and the SAS?.
In view of this, we can't expect to know or to learn whether NEHTA is
getting its act together on this or on any other issue.
Should we treat NEHTA the same way that the men in Catch 22 treated the
squadron's doctor after the crash of the plane on whose flight he had
signed as a passenger? He had to fly for a certain number of hours, but
was afraid of flying, so just signed on but didn't get into the planes.
After the crash, none of the men would acknowledge that he was still
alive and standing next to them and talking to them. They all just said
to each other: "Poor old Doc - too bad about him", and he was forced to
live a ghostly existence, skulking about being ignored by all.
Is NEHTA asking to be treated in the same way?
