I agree, which is why I'm advocating the clinical medical profession
treat My Health Record as they would any other proposed protocol,
procedure or treatment.
The government needs to have its claims validated by independent
researchers. RCT may be difficult but there are other approaches.
However, one of the problems is that the government never seems to have
made any statements about total costs and or risks, so they are
difficult to validate.
The fact that many GPs don't seem to like it may well be due to them not
believing the claims.
See the poll at the bottom of this

My Health Record: staying in or opting out?
Opting out (73%, 284 Votes)
Staying in (27%, 103 Votes)
Total Voters: 387
And this one from July, after they published one of my papers
https://www.doctorportal.com.au/mjainsight/polls/?poll_page=3
My Health Record will improve patient outcomes
Strongly disagree (41%, 159 Votes)
Disagree (26%, 102 Votes)
Neutral (15%, 59 Votes)
Agree (10%, 38 Votes)
Strongly agree (8%, 31 Votes)
Total Voters: 389
I know it may not represent just GPs but it is a consistent number in
multiple MJA polls
And I did not vote, I have a myhr.
