As I have previously said on the blog – leadership instability is death in Health IT! – and that’s just what we have.!
The most recent editorial at of the Chik Newsletter makes the point eloquently.
“Some two and a half years ago, NEHTA was formed. Its Board of Directors consists of the Secretaries and Directors General of Health of Australia's nine jurisdictions (Federal and State/Territory). Now only two of the original NEHTA Board members remain and the loss of corporate memory, experience and intellectual capital this reflects is staggering. With such a degree of churn at the highest level, little wonder that decisions with the potential to involve billions of taxpayer (and voter) dollars have a hard passage to traverse.”
Bad news all round and especially for a decent outcome from the Boston Consulting Group Report.
