A very sad thing about the eHealth situation: immediatly after yesterday's announcement, Ms. Kramer was lauded as the single most capable person to jump start the stalled eHealth project. Much progress was said to have been made over the last five months, no doubt due to the decision to sign contracts without tender. No strength without weakness.

There are at least two general aspects to eHealth problems in Ontario:

1) System design/development, arising from poor performance of those paid to do this work. Deb O'Connor mentioned that one eHealth consultancy firm, Accenture, under the name Arthur Anderson Consulting, was associated with a computer system fiasco presided over by the Harris Tories.

2) System implementation, arising in part from the reluctance and/or refusal of physicians to participate in electronic health record systems, perhaps especially in hospital-based settings.
