I have a different argument against My Health Record: "When it comes to the healthcare relationship between you and your doctor, any third party distorts the trust that is essential for the relationship to work. The problem is that the government treats itself as a privileged case, not as a third party. The government should be a third party like everyone else. If that is accepted, then MyHR should not exist. Because it does exist, it will distort the trust necessary for good health care" It's actually an extension of the "everything you measure gets distorted by the measuring". -- Regards brd Bernard Robertson-Dunn Canberra Australia email: [email protected] web: www.drbrd.com web: www.problemsfirst.com _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
