place I believe.
That is regrettably the story in a range of initiatives. Although NeHTA
contend that they 'dont want to hold anything up', they have. A number
of groundbreaking initiatives stalled when NeHTA made various
announcements because no-one was game to proceed if it might have turned
out to be different to what NeHTA determined was best. In some cases I
believe they actively moved to head off initiatives because if they got
hold they would be hard to turn around.
In the meantime, MediConnect/HealthConnect were implementing projects
using secure communications. But those methods seem to have ended up
in the dust.
Not quite so. NT P2P HealthConnect is going gangbusters!
The GPCG interoperability project created a small code base to make
secure interfaces work to deliver data. Ask Horst what we ended up with.
Yep, another range if worthy initiatives that were scrapped rather than
harnessed and taken into the fold.
NeHTA still has secure communications on its agenda.
