David More's blog today at:

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.
<RexMossop> Let me reiterate back to what I said before </RexMossop>, IT
consultants do what they get paid to do, consult. It sounds like AHIC is
fulfilling its defined role.
Only software developers develop software. If you want software you need
to pay them to do their job. If you don't, don't.
The vision thing is much more fun.
