Two years ago the GPCG Electonic Communication Working Group developed a project spec to have vendors and GPs work out requirements for data export and work to an agreement for this. It was one of several of the projects developed at that time, but was not successfully tendered. After the brakes were applied to the GPCG, the spec was handed over to HL7 Australia wiith a view to it being developed there or in assocaition with MSIA. There is a strong will at MSIA to move in this direction, starting with identifying the datasets of the GP systems in use but they will need refinement against the MSIA dataset. I suggest we push this along. GPCG's ECWG also let a project to develop key GP archetypes. This was done and they are available to all, none the least being the UK NHS which this year commenced working along these lines and taking our archetype development further (maternity for example).

Just for the record....much of the work my company does is around electronic clinical decision support within the the GP work flow with his/her chosen software. This requires read access to data so that the decision support engine can consider the clinical record of the record that is open during a consultation. I can assure you that we are well aware of the bits that some systems make it difficult to access. The best way forward is the establishment of a rich primary health EHR that vendors agreed upon and which was populated as GPs used their native systems. The vendor only has to deal with the interface to the EHR while all of the interoperability would be with the EHR. This is part of what the MSIA Interoperability project could achieve. It preserves the independence of approach of the various GP vendors while saving the national economy millions in interfaces and duplicate projects.

That's great news John and will be very helpful to other group's like Jon Patrick's.

Has there been any work done on this CEHR? Yesterday Horst mentioned some old projects done by GPCG but I would be grateful if you have more recent links.
