The Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record or eHealth Record initiative has the potential to bring together, in one secure easily accessed record, a summary of your key health information.
Most people have medical records stored in multiple systems across the health care sector. These systems do not routinely share information, meaning it can be challenging to keep track of all your health information and ensure it is in one, easy reference place.
The upcoming eHealth Registration day, to be held at the Guyra Medical Centre on Wednesday December 11 will enable you to take advantage of this opportunity to register to create your own eHealth record. The record will allow you and your doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers to view and share your health information. This in turn will enable them to provide you with the best possible care.
New England Medicare Local’s eHealth program manager Marilyn Wood said the individual has control over what information is included in their eHealth Record and who can view the information contained in it.
“Registration takes only a few minutes and all you need to have on hand is your Medicare or DVA card and one other form of identity such as a driver’s licence,” she said.
The opportunity to sign on to the eHealth Record is open to the whole Guyra community, not just patients of the Guyra Medical Centre.
No appointments are needed for eHealth registration.
People who are interested are more than welcome to visit the practice between 9am and 2pm to register.
Appointments are, however, necessary for people seeking medical consultations on the day.
