I disagree. I've been begging specialists in my area (eastern Suburbs of
Sydney - the so called wealthy area) for the last 10 years. Have had 5%
success rate. They are just not interested. Same say that hardly any GP's
want it, some say no-one except I want it. Most say they can't asa no PC at
work etc.
Cedric,
Every area is different. To some extent I'm sure it's a random thing.
Oliver may have more success, but I think some overall funding to
motivate everyone would help. How many GPs would be clinical computer
users without the 7 years of PIP incentives and the support from
Divisions, especially during 1999-2001?
A group of cardiologists in Western Sydney is setting up to send and
receive reports/referrals securely. In that case the shoe will be on the
other foot.
Similarly, Medical objects has been sponsored and initiated by the
gastroenterologists at Buderim. Argus, on the other hand. was initiated
by a consortium led by Top End Division and got some government money,
only they've forgotten why they. there are other examples.
