THE health record revolution is coming: More than 40 per cent of community pharmacies are now registered with the My Health Record system.
The number of connections a week has increased over recent months, and the Guild is committed to helping build the digital health capabilities of community pharmacies and advance the efficiency, quality, and delivery of healthcare for all Australians.
The Guild is working with the Australian Digital Health Agency to ensure that community pharmacy dispensing and medicine-related services are fully integrated into the My Health Record.
My Health Record enables important health information including allergies, medical conditions, treatments, medicines, and test reports to be securely shared between clinicians and their patients. It also allows people to take more control of their own health and wellbeing, manage their children's health, and upload key documents like advanced care directives.
The My Health Record website has been redesigned and updated and includes a community pharmacy section.
