NMS on Twitter

May 23, 2014

THE National Medicines Symposium has sparked conversations on Twitter, including comments about the Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record (PCEHR) which was recently reviewed (PD 22 May). Translational Research Institute ceo and director of research, and a speaker at NMS, Professor Ian Frazer said he had tried unsuccessfully for 45 minutes to set up his own electronic health record, according to APHS Pharmacy Group managing partner Cathie Reid (@ cathiereid) who said it was a “pretty damning system fail”. Peter Guthrey (@pguthreyRX) said it had taken him 30 minutes. “Perseverance needs immediate benefit!” You can follow the discussions by using the hash tag #nms14au. See page one for a wrap up of the opening plenary for the Symposium, held in Brisbane.
