Hi Oliver Also apologies for delay in reply - Re the 'free' aspect of MO - from where we stand.
Our interaction with MO at a Divisional level is about the GP. I suspect some of the reasons our CEO moved forward with MO include: - already established in large number of practices - already had large numbers of specialists - already had partnerships with hospital, QLD Health, Aged Care Facilities, etc - free for GPs So for us, then and now, our engagement has been about the GP. Any and all things we do, in terms of MO based solutions to GPs, is free to GPs. That is the extent of it for us. What MO do with specialists, hospitals, allied health, aged care and other and their pricing is not something shared with us or that we are involved in. They do that stuff and we recognise the value of being able to plug in to that infrastructure. Should this infrastructure not exist, I guess thing would be different. I therefore cannot make comment on what other folks pay or why they pay for it. But our div makes hay while the sun shines. And it shines heaps on the Sunshine Coast. regards Ian -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Oliver Sent: Tuesday, 1 May 2007 1:16 PM To: General Practice Computing Group Talk; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Luke Russell; IMIT ADGP LIST Cc: Jane Campbell; Ian Landreth; Jan Pullar Subject: RE: [GPCG_TALK] RE: [division-imit] RE: [IMITPolicy] argus vs.MedicalObjects > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian Ludowyke > Sent: Tuesday, 1 May 2007 9:49 AM > > We have an extensive Medical Objects (MO) deployment at our > Division and it is very very easy and very very successful. > > Quick summary - our experience. > > o QLD Health on board using Medical Objects for > Electronic Discharge summaries (EDS)- 1 Hospital operational > plus 2 setting up now.

The on line pricing shows prices from $350 per year to $5,100 per year for various types of users, apart from GPs, for whom there is no charge. No price is shown for hospitals to use Medical Objects. How much do the hospitals pay to use it? (Argus similarly charges nil to GPs, lists prices for a number of other categories of users including hospitals, and 'price on application' for any others who are not listed).
