The latest travesty in the ECHS saga. The vendor selected by MoD sourceinfosys.com for upgrading smart cards isn't porting data to the new system. Result - doctors having to manually retype medical history and prescription for each patient. This is taking anywhere.....
Some questions that need to be asked -
1. Isn't data migration included in the contract?
2. If not, why? Weren't those drawing up the contract competent enough to evaluate scope of work?
3. If it is, why isn't it.....
4. Has someone calculated the cost of this migration from perspective of cost of time of doctors spent in data entry work?
5. Even if data migration has been missed out from the contract, isn't it better to contract a few data entry operators to manually type....
6. Who is accountable for this utter mess in ECHS? Why is there no accountability?
