From what I can see, the UZI register
http://www.uziregister.nl/english/ (high resolution version of the video
is via the links towards the bottom of the page) is their equivalent of
our HESA. Remember that Australia substantially wrote the ISO healthcare
PKI standard and was a global leader in implementation through HIC/HESA.
I didn't know that. Pity they've had so much trouble getting people to
use it.
The video is similar to what MediConnect/HealthConnect probably had - I
have seen the MediConnect video. I presume a similar PR tool was used in
HealthConnect as part of the trial recruitment/enrolment marketing.
No nothing that good or coherent. The best Ozzie video like it was for
the Eastern Goldfields project, fronted by Norman Swan, but that project
has disappeared from sight, no doubt due to the obscene costs involved.
To me we are promoting the Not Invented Here Syndrome.
No, it is promoting Look They're Getting On With It Elsewhere, Unlike Us.
Australia is still a global leader in health informatics but the USA
will probably trample us with their well resourced effort to implement
the EHR thing.
Ah, jingoism, enjoy it while it lasts.
We have a great track record of becoming 'world's best', then running
away and hiding. Take the Ozzie film industry of the late 70s and early
80s. Gone.
The usual reason is a government without commitment to the public good
or imagination.
