oh the wastage is a crime, and it should be punishable. The austerity obsessed government here in the UK is causing great pain to people here due to cut-backs in the NHS, in the low ?bn range. And yet it was apparently acceptable to spend over ?8bn on what I guess is a few hundred million ? worth of IT (most being replaced as we speak anyway). I would like to hear those responsible defend their actions to the current generation of affected patients, and the overworked health carers... We can only try to do better in the future, and that means creating high quality, economically cheap technology. We're not very efficient yet in doing this in openEHR, but we can improve and I see uptake accelerating, which is good. As always, it's down to us - how we self-organise and work together. - thomas -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
