Speaking of repeating the same mistakes over and over and not learning, aren’t they still looking to build the Galway Ring Road to fix traffic

It’s not much of an article.
The thrust of it is that other countries have seen budgets be overreached as well.
>International experience suggests the final bill could be dramatically higher. Cambridge University Hospitals’ £200 million EHR implementation in 2014 developed “serious problems” requiring ambulance diversions. A Norwegian government report found their national implementation “puts patient lives at risk” and costs proved “more expensive than foreseen”. Denmark and Finland faced similar challenges. Even in the US, implementation costs routinely explode. One big Boston hospital system’s implementation started at $1.2 billion and reached $1.6 billion by 2018. The software itself accounted for less than $100 million. Real costs came from lost productivity, training, implementation, and ongoing support.
He doesn’t identify a cause, nor does he identify a solution.
All feels a bit pointless.

Well, people get paid for doing the work that leads up to the failure so for many it’s a great success.

The cost to implement a electronic health record is pretty much irrelavent.
It just needs to be done, and be done quickly. Productivity gains in the HSE will easily outweigh the costs of implementation, to say nothing of the improvements to provider and patient quality of life and care.

It’s only a mistake if one of your mates didn’t get paid.
