‘Most doctors’ don’t find My Health Record useful
Newscorp’s National Health Reporter Sue Dunlevy says ‘most doctors’ she speaks to do not find the My Health Record system useful, as GPs usually already have a record of their patients’ health on their own computers. Speaking with Sky News, Ms Dunlevy says it would be useful for specialists, but ‘very few’ specialist practitioners are registered to use it, so they aren’t looking at it. Ms Dunlevy also notes that only 55 per cent of private hospitals are registered to use the record system, while only three-quarters of public hospitals are signed up, contributing to the slow rollout.

The Federal Chair of the AMA Ethics Committee, Dr Chris Moy spoke with Tim and Jane about other ways you can access your My Health Record. – “It comes down to the fact that not a lot of people are I.T. savy. You can get information about it and control it [My Health Record] by ringing the hotline number which is 1800 723 471.”
If you do have a MyGov account and want to further information. Call the MyGov helpdesk on 13 23 07, and select Option 1.
