3. Are GP list members making any headway with the task of getting
specialists to adopt secure messaging products? Is low specialist
uptake/interest the major stumbling block preventing secure messaging from
proliferating in your area?
Simon,
A couple of points. The issue with liftoff is the size of group wanting
to commit to a package. Here in the middle of Sydney there are thousands
of specialists and GPs. Where do you start to change the business process.
One specialist doing secure messaging isn't enough. Duncan Guy's group
cardiology practice in the west is trying to get messaging going from
their end. I've just asked hi to report on progress.
In small centres where the scale of referrals and potential players is
small, it's much easier.
Also the government seems reluctant to do anything more than fund a few
pilots, focussed mainly on hospital-GP reporting/referrals, not
specialsit-GP reporting/referrals.
