Sadly, you don't know the half of it! We've been told to put our work on hold because NEHTA is building another more detailed architecture on the PCEHR that we'll have to fit into somehow, but that won't be available until the middle of next year.

Don't hold out much hope for the Politically Correct Electronic Health Record (PCEHR) from the Never Ever Have To deliver Anything (NEHTA) organisation.

If this is true - and the track record of informants has been pretty good, but nothing is certain of course - then there are going to be a number of very unhappy respondents to the request for proposals to provide PCEHR Trial Sites etc.

This is hardly a lot of notice when $55Million is up for grabs. The commercial implications are really not trivial at all if this is correct!

“Your application must:

1. Be lodged by hand, including by courier, at the DoHA Tender Box to meet the closing time deadline of 2pm (local Canberra time) on Thursday 23 December 2010;”

I look forward to confirmatory comments, clarifications or denials via the usual Anonymous route!

Early attention to this matter is appreciated!
