Excellent points Greg. Perhaps you should publish a detailed paper or start a blog :-)))

All very well for D.More to be quite cynical about what K.Harvey has to say, but as far as I can see, he, his blog and many like him have been discussing this problem for bloody ages without solving it. Meanwhile old hands like myself are battling in an area where the sharing of information and knowledge is absolutely appalling. It's every man for himself in my area and the rest of you can get focussed. I try my damnedest to organise for others to be able to access patient information belonging to my practice, but there is no help and it is mostly ignored. So-called confidential information is still being sent by fax all over the place. The hospital service is probably the worst in this regard, but no-one gets off scot free. Every time someone tries to improve things there are a multitude of cleverer people who find all sorts of faults with it and it lapses and withers away. There are a multitude of commercial entrepreneurs trying to make money with all sorts of software, but they rarely co-operate and often deliberately sabotage one another,. The whole system is bloody lousy.
