The Fate of HealthConnect - Sealed?

Seems there is more and more commentary on the directions being adopted by HealthConnect.

Karen Dearne in the Australian today discusses the request from Queensland to clarify what is going on at last weeks Australian Health Minister's Advisory Council meeting.

She concludes, based on the level of activity in evidence and the likely costs, that the program has been largely shelved and that we have not yet been told.

It seems to me the official announcement will have to wait until a replacement strategy is in place and I am pretty sure work to develop and clarify is a high priority with NEHTA.

Speculation on what you imagine is planned in the new direction is welcome!
