In May this year the report for the 2013 review of the Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record (PCEHR) was released. The review examined issues with the existing system including complexity, expectations and governance. It made 38 recommendations, including a suggestion to change its name to My Health Record (MyHR) and to transition to an opt-out model by 1 January 2015.

The aim with the recommendations is to improve the value proposition for clinicians to regularly turn to the MyHR, which must initially include demographics, current medications and adverse events, discharge summaries, and clinical measurements.

At HIC 2014 in Melbourne the Commonwealth Department of Health hosted a PCEHR consultation session for HIC delegates to help inform the Department of issues of interest and concern that should be considered as part of addressing the recommendations.

Questions include - What does this mean for Victoria? How are we affected?

HISA Victoria Branch is hosting a discussion led by Peter Williams and Dr Chris Pearce to explore:

  • What is the impact of the PCEHR review recommendations for Victoria?
  • What will this mean for GPs and health agencies? (for example Pathology & Radiology results in the PCEHR - are they close?), and
  • How might this affect the Victorian e-health agenda over the next 3-5 years?
