David More's blog today at:
http://aushealthit.blogspot.com/2007/06/ahic-survey-will-they-hear-what-they.html
tells us:
"Last week the President of the Australian College of Health Informatics
(ACHI) was sent a survey which had been developed for the Australian
Health Information Council out to ACHI members for comment. The survey
– which was developed by the Nous Group (www.nousgroup.com.au) - had
the following introduction and process description:
“The Australian Health Information Council (AHIC)
eHealth future directions stakeholder survey
Purpose of survey:
In its role of providing advice to inform national policy direction for
health information to the Australian Health Minister’s Advisory
Committee (AHMAC), AHIC wishes to look strategically at the development
of the national health information program out to 2013."
David's reply with twelve important points is excellent.
We seem to simply keep having enquiries, committees and task forces that
are supposed to set the e-health agenda, without very much actually
happening to implement that agenda. This enquiry sounds like just
another one - a way to appear as if the government is doing something
while in fact doing little, a bit like the national broadband issue in
the news today.
