The government has updated the My Health Record FAQs for individuals, healthcare providers and contracted service providers. The information is more detailed than the versions released under the PCEHR, as it was previously known.
Registration with the My Health Record system is straightforward using GP medical software and the upload process has been streamlined.
These improvements coincide with the government's push to increase uploads to the PCEHR by tying eHealth Practice Incentive Payments to a minimum number of uploads. Many in the profession have had reservations about the effectiveness and utility of these incentives.
