Dear Mr President
On 15 August 2018, the Senate referred the My Health Record system to
the Senate Community Affairs References Committee (committee) for
inquiry and report by 8 October 2018. On 19 September 2018, the Senate
granted an extension of time for reporting until 12 October 2018.
Submissions were sought by 14 September 2018. The Committee has
received 116 submissions and held three public hearings in Canberra on
11, 17 and 20 September 2018..
The Committee intends to seek an extension to the reporting date to 17 October 2018 to enable it to conclude its deliberations.
Yours sincerely,
Senator Rachel Siewert
Committee Chair

Presumably the legislative report is on time for today.
David.
Maybe Tim called and asked they wait till he is back with some stories.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I have picked up in early news the bill aspect sounds confused.
ReplyDeleteNot directly related to the topic but a nice reminder of reality. https://www.medpagetoday.com/patientcenteredmedicalhome/patientcenteredmedicalhome/75679
ReplyDeleteInteresting article that, thanks.

Figuring out who should see which test results is a case in point
NEHTA/ADHA have decided that the answer to the question "who should see which test results" is: Everyone, except the patient may decide to hide certain results and myhr only contains a small amount of data, out of context, anyway."
Well, that's all sorted, ain't it?
There's a report in today's SMH "'Surely a test is a test': Shock over blood results for toxic chemical"
ReplyDeletehttps://www.smh.com.au/national/toxic-chemical-williamtown-tests-health-defence-20181012-p509e8.html"
it saya, in part: "The reliability of a national blood sampling program for toxic firefighting chemicals is under question, after a private test showed more than double the level of a contaminant in a man’s blood compared to a government sample taken on the same day."
I was just wondering what ADHA's processes and procedures would be to handle such events i.e. large scale problems with test results?
I do hope they are not relying on patients to sort out such a dangerous mess.
There are some useful and sobering lessons in this article. How the MyHR fits into a future health environment is becoming less and less identifiable (unlike every citizens personal details)
