David on e-health
31 Aug 2009
I've worked in health in Tasmania and WA for the last six years. I've been involved in the area described as e-health.
Although only peripherally involved, it appals me to see every State working their own way through various projects with endless duplication of effort. We are one country and all public patients should have a common e-health record.
We should not need all states to be working on their own versions. The same applies to many other applications eg Pharmacy. The Federal Government should fund and oversee all public health in Australia.
Every time we decide we need to improve the health system we employ more bureaucrats but no more front line medical people.
