The whole issue of Medical recording of patients information is a political hot-potato in every country that has tried to install digital regimes. One main problem it the complete lack of security and then the human failings of the criminal who will make massive and invasive attempts to use our data to satisfy his greed.
In a country as vast as Australia the problem is acute but often, thankfully, becomes visible before any damage can be done. The unfortunate paradox is that it cost fortunes to remedy.
It ought to be a matter of interest for all Health Authorities to combine their collective wisdom and share their knowledge, or lack of it, openly with each other, for the benefit of everyone and not a selective few entrepreneurs or digital sharks.
