The digital transformation of health care delivery remains an elusive work in progress. Contextual variation continues to be a significant barrier to the development of sustainable health information systems. In this paper we characterize health informaticians as modern alchemists and use this characterization to describe informatics progress in addressing four key healthcare challenges. We highlight the need for informaticians to be diligent and loyal to basic methodological principles while also appreciating the role that contextual variation plays in informatics research. We also emphasize that meaningful health systems transformation takes time. The insight presented in this paper helps informaticians in our quest to develop sustainable health information systems. Keywords. Sustainability, Health informatics, Decision support, Ontologies, standards, Work practice, Usability, Context 1.

    ROGER KNOX STRANGER IN MY LAND RELEASE DATE: FEBURARY 2013 “The best music is border music, the sound of cultures colliding. In the late 20th century Black Australians assimilated Country & Western, that whitest of American musical forms, to tell the story of their physical subjugation, spiritual stoicism and eventual political awakening.” —Jon Langford, from the liner notes Roger Knox, aka the Koori King of Country or Black grog-drinkers, pelicans and policemen. Elvis as he’s known in his homeland, is an Aboriginal Australian Country & Western singer with a honeyed Stranger In My Land features guest vocals and bear hug of a voice. Bloodshot artist Jon Langford instrumental performances from Bonnie Prince Billy, (Mekons, Waco Brothers) met Knox on a visit to Kelly Hogan, Dave Alvin (X, Blasters), Sally Timms and Australia several years ago.
