Okay, so Australia could design, build and test an e-health system, at a cost of a few tens of million dollars and see if it works, before spending more. So far the Australian Government has spent more than a billion dollars on an e-health records system without success and plans to spend another half billion. There does not appear to be much change in what is proposed and so the outcome is likely to be the same. A system which considers the needs of the patients as a priority may have more chance of success than the current one, which seems to be focused on the needs of doctors and the medical industry.
