About My Health Record

My Health Record (previously known as Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record, or 'PCEHR') is an Australian Government initiative to allow patient information to be accessed securely online, making it easier to share information between healthcare professionals. Further information is available at https://myhealthrecord.gov.au/.

Clinical is compatible with the My Health Record system, allowing you to view Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) documentation that was created for the patient at another Practice (for example), as well as giving you the means to add your own patient documentation to the System, which can then be accessed by other clinicians.

Documents managed via My Health Record are done so securely, and your Practice will require HI Signing and HI Encryption Certificates, as well as the My Health Record Certificate itself to access the System. These can be obtained viahttps://myhealthrecord.gov.au/ after registering. Furthermore, patients who register can elect to secure their medical records with a password. Clinicians will then require this password in order to access their patient's records from the My Health Record System.
