On a purely IT level: Re Greg Hunt's commitment to deleting myhr records, here's an overview
My Health Record: Deleting personal information from databases is harder than it sounds https://theconversation.com/my-health-record-deleting-personal-information-from-databases-is-harder-than-it-sounds-100962 IMHO, it's even more complex than Robert Merkel says, I don't think he fully understands the operational aspects of backup/restore. Perhaps someone (Greg Hunt? COAG) could say if they've had a quote from Accenture etc as to how much this delete function would cost. Considering there was no delete function at all in myhr this is a huge change, especially for backups, which is significantly simpler if there is no delete. And people wonder why government IT projects keep failing. The most common cause is changing/unclear requirements. Greg has just pulled the rug from under the feet of the IT people. Accenture must be rubbing their hands with glee. They can charge what they like because the government has made a blind commitment and must now pay the price, either in $ or at the ballot box. -- 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
