IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST - IS MEDICARE GOING TO BE PRIVATISED OR ARE THE COSTS GOING TO ICT COMPANIES ?

On 01 Jul 2016 the "National E-Health Transistion Authority [NEHTA]" vested all its Assets
and Liabilities in the "Australian Digital Health Agency [ADHA]" ref ADHA Web-site

Here is the Blog of Dr David MORE MB PhD FACHI on "waste of money" with Australian E-Health Standards

SURELY TAX-PAYERS OF EACH STATE & TERRITORY ARE DUE A SHARE OF THE ASSETS IN PROPORTION TO THE FINANCE PROVIDED !


NATIONAL E-HEALTH STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT - 2.3 STAKEHOLDERS 15 MAR 2006

2.3	STAKEHOLDERS

The key stakeholders in relation to this Framework are 

1	health software suppliers 
2	purchasers and implementers 
3	standards development organisations  

Greater standardization in e-health offers the following opportunities and challenges 
to each group: 
 
1 For suppliers 
 
"the existence and use of standards makes it easier to produce, sell and buy 
products and services. 

Standards enable a market. 

They are part of the infrastructure for innovation-led growth.” 
[14 - The Economics of Standardisation GMP SWANN 2000 - Manchester Business School]
 
Benefits of standardization for suppliers include: 

1a Greater market certainty, which translates to lower business risk and cost 

1b Greater uniformity of purchaser requirements, which translates to lower supply costs; 

1c A basis for certification – a marketable asset; 

1d Simpler and more rapid procurement processes; and 

1e The prospect of growth in export markets, particularly within the Asia-Pacific 
   region. 
 
For some, the selection of specific standards will mean that their existing or planned 
technology strategies are out of step, and realignment may be costly as has been the 
case in other areas of microeconomic reform.   

2 For purchasers and implementers

2a More rapid and cheaper procurement, by being able to reference standards 
   requirements rather than develop them anew; 

2b Improved bases for assessing the conformance of product offerings; 

2c Improved confidence that purchased software will meet interoperability 
   specifications; and  

2d Greater potential to avoid vendor “lock-in”. 
 
Challenges for purchasers and implementers are likely to include sustaining 
commitment to standardize within a sector characterised by fragmentation, meeting 
the initial costs of standards implementation and managing change – in particular in 
work practices and business processes.  
 
3. For standards developers

3a Greater role clarity upon which to develop sustainable business models; and 
 
3b A higher profile within the sector. 
 
Challenges to standards developers are likely to include process improvements that 
ensure responsiveness to the sector’s needs; harmonising work programs and 
managing the potential for territoriality; and targeting the application of limited 
standards development expertise.   
 
Ultimately, health service users and providers at large will also benefit through more 
available, better quality and more productive health service delivery.
