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....
For the edification of my students I maintain a list [not complete] of
the various enquiries, task forces, committees, reports, etc. that have
meant to give direction to E-health in Australia.
What is particularly ironic is that no such list exists on any current
government (or NEHTA) web site (although most of these reports are still
retrievable from the archives if you know what to search for)!
But not to worry, (quoting the Environment minister on climate change
from today's The Age), "The Howard Government has cool heads and steady
hands...."
