CHIME was implemented (not sure how faithfully with respect to the
original design and intentions) and has been deployed in a number of NSW
community health centres, and it apparently works (again not sure how
well - I've never actually seen the data model for it, nor the
application itself, nor spoken to any users). There is a timetable for
roll-out to other community health centres, I gather, but again I am
unaware of details. Thus at least the initial T of David's acronymic
epithet is unjustified, and the rest might be too.
Tim,
I spoke to a key person in my former AHS December before last, with much
the same question. They weren't going to roll it out to some 30+
community centres, including my former one, because of the cost. They
were already in debt and weren't prepared to go further in.
Preparing for CHIME back in '98 cost us several positions, though the
resulting hardware, quite possibly still in use, got put to some other
good uses.
Just one of the reasons I'm very sceptical re HealthConnect.
