Horst,
This is the register's version of events. Much less flattering.

I had a GP in distress after her accreditation survey over being taken
to task over not having test backups mentioned in her security manual.
Fine, except they aren't in the RACGP standards, so what is the basis
for the surveyor's view?
Yes I've had GPs overwriting new data with old, trying to do the right
thing. The real problem is that the GPCG security guidelines, on which
the college's standards are based, didn't say 'And if you don't have
training in IT, pay for someone who does to do these critical tasks'.
As a result we have lots of practices where GPs try to do things they
know nothing about and corrupt data, break servers, etc. No one wants to
frighten the horses, not the college, not the government, not the late GPCG.
Nor do the surveyors necessarily know any more about IT than the GPs
whose practices they are surveying. Which makes it all a bit of a joke
in my view.
