Folks, please excuse the double posts for those of you who would have received this from other DL’s, but yesterday the National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission released a supplementary paper to their Interim Report. The paper focuses on Electronic Health Records and it is very pleasing to see the Commission come out strongly in favour of the Person Controlled model. The paper actually makes a very strong case for HealthVault which can already deliver on most of the capabilities the Commission desires.
