NSW eMR Program

I was recently reading this old article announcing NSW's answer to an e-health solution. Since this project was supposed to be completed by the end of 2009 I thought I would do some further research into it's progress. So far of the 8 area health services that were supposed to be part of this program there is a total of ... wait for it ... zero that are live. Not surprising for a project of this magnitude and considering NSW and Sydney spent 129 million on bringing the Pope to town this year and only 40 million on this vital project. That being said, South Eastern Illawarra Health Service is set to "go live" at St. George sometime at the end of the month and North Coast Area Health Service is set for its first site to turn on in October. We will be watching.
