Join us for an information session on the My Health Record and the upcoming legislative changes that will establish new rules for sharing health information.

These changes affect healthcare providers who request pathology and diagnostic imaging services. Under the new rules, pathology and diagnostic imaging reports (such as blood tests and X-rays) where a written report is produced must be uploaded by default to My Health Record.

This session will help you understand what these changes mean for your practice and how to prepare for compliance while improving patient care. 

Learning outcomes:

• Understand what the Better and Faster Access Initiative and Share by Default mean in relation to the My Health Record
• Explain the legislative changes and their implications for pathology and diagnostic imaging requests.
• Identify which reports must be uploaded by default and the timelines for compliance.
• Recognise the benefits of improved access to health information for patient care and continuity.
• Understand how consumers can use the 1800Medicare App to access their health information and what this means for patient engagement.

Target audience: GPs, Nurses and Practice Managers
