Happy New Year to Health IT Aficionados, For those of us not at the beach or lakeside, perhaps some who like myself are working on projects in Canada, it is a busy time of year, but not one without interesting diversions. I wonder who has been keeping an eye on David More's blogspot. http://www.aushealthit.blogspot.com/ I have been reading over summer about the power of blogs and I am intrigued at how their use is changing our daily lives... apparently George Bush's plummeting popularity is accelerating because of the effect of blogs. Their instant communications ability is changing the media paradigm almost overnight. In any event, David's latest blog is one serious bit of straight talkin' - A fairly sobering read about the state of things in Australian health IT and a withering assessment of NEHTA's achievements thus far. Take a look, it asks all the hard questions.... A question for you though David: You seem to believe returning NEHTA to the public sector accountability and view a "root and branch review" as essential. Why is this the best course of action? David, whether you are right on the cure, your diagnosis certainly has a ring of truth about it. Australian health IT is languishing and without a "More direct approach" to solving the problems, please excuse the pun, it will certainly stay that way. All the best for 2007, Tom Bowden CEO HealthLink
