Some great discussion on EMM

If you've checked out the Smart Aged Care Technology group on LinkedIn lately, you'd have seen a lot of discussion on EMM, and the issues surrounding its implementation in Australian Aged Care.

ThoughtWare CEO, Sonia Bernhardt pointed out the need to ensure that decisions made in EMM  are not over-prescriptive, and don't stifle innovation:

"New technologies appear on average every 90 days so we need to make sure the market is dynamic enough to take advantage of that."

"Let's hope it's a quick debate because time equals healthcare dollars." - Mark Barnett, Editor, IT:informer.

And in response to who should set EMM standards and drive innovation...

"I think the private market SHOULD be the standard setter NOT government bodies that are at the whim of politics and elections and are also notoriously SLOW decision makers. " - Sonia Bernhardt

"I agree the solution should be and will in all probably be private sector." - Hazel Jennings, ICT Manager, Royal NZ Foundation of the Blind

"Some agedcare and homecare organisations (at least here in australia), want a local company" - Neville Bradbury, Owner, OpenSoft Australia

Looking forward to unearthing more insights via the Smart Aged Technology Group, and don't forget the IT:informer twitterstream - we love hearing what you have to say.
