Hi Jon So what have you tried so far as a reason for SCT?
What was the response? I am also struggling to see immediate benefits for SCT beyond the content will be free... but that the software houses will generate some cost in implementing the free content so from an economic perspective is not free and then there is the big national license fee that the govt has paid so is also not free...

Hence I asked my question to the people I though would have the best set of answers, the GPCG list. The result is your set of questions, which pinpoint the principal motivators. <big snip> > > To get the debate going I have thrown out some questions to help Jon > along > > Will SCT result in better care?

Now I need the GPCGs answers to those questions, my answers aren't good enough. thanks jon ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
