Pharmacy Guild national
president George Tambassis has
welcomed the pilot program of the
new My Health Record system (PD
yesterday), which will see about a
million people enrolled in Far North
Queensland and the NSW Blue

“Community pharmacies
have always been early and
conscientious adopters of beneficial
technology for patients, and I know
pharmacy will get behind the My
Health Record and contribute to its
success in the interests of better
patient outcomes,” Tambassis said.
The e-Health ‘opt-out’ bill has

is expected to ramp up if it passes
through the Senate, in which case
the new system is expected to
come into effect in 2017.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 30 Oct 15 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 30 Oct 15
