It Is Good To See Others Now Saying What I Have Said For Years – The #myHR Is An Evidence-Free And Wasteful Farce!
This appeared a few days ago. 22 April 2022 My Health Record ’s ‘dumb numbers’ versus ‘meaningful use’ By Jeremy Knibbs The Department of Health finally wants to see some evidence of the usefulness of the MHR. If you trawl the health portfolio budget statement from March, on page 183 you will see a table that suggests the government is starting to lose patience, and perhaps even faith, in the whole idea of My Health Record (MHR). The table says that as a part of measuring the performance of the Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) into 2023, it is going to require that the agency “Establish an ap...

Welcome Back Kotter: New York ’ s next 1115 Waiver
The objectives of DSRIP 1.0 – a laundry list of HEDIS measures – made the program difficult to manage “on the ground” and too tightly tied to medical measures of success.
Too many choices. PPS were given choices about which projects they would work on – and by extension – which projects would be funded and measured. The projects were tactically expressed – and therefore too prescriptive – not just defining goals to be achieved – but presuming that DOH knew how goals would best be achieved. In many cases – this mismatch between what to do and how it would be done was...
