There was a 12 hour media bash of Ontario’s Health Ministry re-dealing with some of the same folks from the “previous scandal”. BUT not really the same – now they’re richer and work for another company – about to get rich...
YES the Province is at it again, another shot a “e”Heaith records. BUT PLEASE FORGET the hub-bub. If we listened to last weeks story there was a golden solution: Nova Scotia has already built a similar data-base for only 25 million. WOW. STOP THE PRESS. IDEA: Ontario licenses the Nova Scotia System.
Private business builds their own “stuff”. The “stuff: is often the Competitive Advantage. The secrete process or ingredient that can make one firm, better, faster, or cheaper than the competition. Its often part of their USP – Unique Sales Proposition.
BUT Back to Ontario - vrs - Newfoundland and Labrador. Competitors? No!
Instead – Governments – servants to the people, by the people, of the people. Don’t tell me that’s American – it’s Democracy.
If Newfoundland and Labrador have a working model why the heck does Ontario have to reinvent the wheel? Rediscover the mouse-trap? We don’t compete with our cousins of Confederation – instead let's share, even its licensing for money. That’s decent use of the People’s money – a scarce resource today.
Park the ego. Fire the technocrats, Get a copy-cat out East right now. If it works license it. If its big enough for Newfoundland and Labrador then its easily scalable to Ontario.
Stop “e”Health Three before it gets further. Yes #3. The first was missed, and it seems we’ve forgot all about #2.
How arrogant are these Liberals – that this could even get traction with an election at the door?
