This is an old frustration of mine and the ACIR the only reason I ever
use IE. I gave up on online PBS authorities as the process was slower
than the phone method however this was also the case there with the API
only working with IE. I would be most interested to know what level
these decisions were made at if you can get an answer. The 2nd level
help people I've spoken with have always sounded embarrassed when I've
spoken to them about this. Analogous is the PKI dongle working only
with Outlook/Express which is even less tolerable. The pattern seems
systemic and I feel is could only have been mandated at a level in the
health bureaucracy where some agreement was struck with Microsoft. Even
the Medicare web pages render poorly in Firefox.
I use Medtech and I am hoping to bypass the ACIR web site with the new
version.

Our Division's immunisation coordinator has spent quite a lot of time
at our practice trying to find the problem. Eventually the ACIR help
desk told her that the ACIR Web site does not work with Mozilla
Firefox, which is the Web browser that my practice uses, but only with
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
From previous discussions on this list, I understand that Firefox
conforms to international standards for Web browsers but that
Microsoft Internet Explorer does not. Is this still correct?
The Commonwealth is spending millions of dollars of our taxes to
encourage all players in the the health system to use software that
conforms to established standards. I have asked the ACIR to explain
why its Web interface works only with a browser that is not
standards-compliant, proprietary and prone to security problems, and
have asked them what they are doing to make the ACIR's Web interface
conform to international standards.
I will let you know when I have received a reply.
