[LINK] Language please ...

…. For some rather strong (but merited) language from our own BRD.

Pretty much EVERY digital health initiative over the last 20 years has come to the same sordid end - hamstrung from within and without by politics, incompetence and the old ‘solution in search of a problem’ syndrome … but they do keep trying. 

I know a few Linkers have been involved with these efforts over the last few years, and having worked (at the periphery) of government IT myself for a few years appreciate how things can, and most often do, disappear up the bureaucratic fundament in a disastrous implosion of time, money and effort on ever increasing numbers of government IT projects … but you'd think they would learn!

Just my 2 cents worth …
