E-Health
The doctors consulting at Ti-Tree are actively involved in providing Assisted Registration and uploading information for their patients who wish to have a My Health Record.
My Health Record is a secure online summary of your health information.
Your important healthcare information will be available in one place online that is easily accessible by your authorised doctors, specialists, or hospitals.
You can control what goes into it, and who is allowed to access it. You can choose to share your health information with your doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers.
Your My Health Record could contain:
- Medicines you are taking prescribed by your doctor
- Your Medicare claims history
- Your organ donation decision
- Hospital discharge information
- Diagnostic imaging report (like ultrasound or x-ray results)
- Pathology reports (like blood tests)
You can also add your own information like:
- Any allergies and adverse reactions you may have
- Your advance care planning information (this records your wishes about your health care in the event that you are too unwell to communicate).
Healthcare providers like doctors, specialists and hospital staff may be able to see it online from anywhere at any time when they need to, like in an accident or emergency.
As more people use the My Health Record system, Australia's national health system will become better connected. This will result in better, faster and more efficient care for you and your family.
Please ask your Doctor about registering for a My Health Record at your next appointment or visit www.myhealthrecord.gov.au or MyGov for more information.
