Summary

Governments are under constant pressure to deliver significant cost savings with job titles starting to appear with new names like “eliminating red tape” and “finding efficiencies”. Healthcare has undergone a significant transformation spurred on in many countries by government setting priorities and providing funding to create an Electronic Health Record. It was widely accepted that true transformation of healthcare delivery required a complete longitudinal health record of a patient across the entire enterprise. A government initiative attempting to save money by creating a smartcard with a driver licence on one side and a health insurance card on the other was eventually cancelled in large part due to privacy concerns – “if I give my driver licence to a car rental agent they have access to my health insurance number without my consent”. The real secret is in working with experts and getting sponsorship, governance, change management and data stewardship right the first time.
