Tom,

Can I repost your experience of the PCEHR to David More's blog at 
aushealthit.blogspot.com.au/ ?

Does anyone else on Link have any experiences, good, bad or indifferent 
of the PCEHR?

IMHO, the PCEHR is yet another IT project heading for failure. In this 
case primarily because of hubris. They think it's an IT problem, not a 
health information problem. Although in Tom's case it seems to be a 
straight out-and-out IT problem.
