The following dropped into view late yesterday in the form of a forwarded e-mail, under the NEHTA CEO’s authorship, from a kind source who will not be disclosed. As I understand it what is said is as follows.
In summary:
1. NEHTA is very happy about the three years funding ongoing funding.
2. Decisions about the fate of the IEHR and its timetable for development / implementation are up to Government for the future.
Reading between the lines of what I have seen does not seem too hard here. Essentially NEHTA is to continue doing what it was meant to do while all the forward plans are under review into the future.
Certainly it seems the IEHR has slipped down the list until other issues have been addressed as I have been suggesting for a good while now!
An amazingly sensible outcome in my view.
We await further developments with Health Infrastructure Fund and the like!
Interestingly there is still no comment on the NEHTA web site about the COAG funding as I type this.
David.
