Eric Browne


has a special interest in improving healthcare through information technology. In particular, he believes that to achieve this there is a need to standardise clinical information representation within and between healthcare systems. This is indeed a profound challenge!

If only the task were not so encumbered by the conflicting complexities of politics, history, organisational goals, vested personal interests and other extraneous factors intruding into what otherwise should be a relatively tractable and achievable engineering exercise. Unfortunately in Australia, these dominating factors are likely to ensure a protracted, tortuous path, ere we see any significant progress towards information standardisation.
