Have you heard about ‘My Health Record’? By the end of 2018, EVERY Australian will be given one. Do you want to know more about what it means to have a My Health Record?
Having a MyHealth Record means that your important health information such as allergies, current medications and treatments, pathology and other reports can be stored securely in one place and you control what information is stored and who sees it.
If you move house or travel, your record goes with you. If you visit someone other than your usual doctor, your health information is just a click away. If you go to hospital, particularly after hours, your information can be accessed when you need it most. Imagine never having to repeat your health information!
Once your My Health Record is set up you don’t need to do anything. But if you want, you can access your own record on the internet or on your smart phone. Having your own health record can improve how you manage your own health. It can even enhance your relationships with healthcare providers.
Come to a ‘Region Ready My Health Record’ event: click links below to find out more and register today.
