With all the talk of myHR updating etc. I thought I would log on and have a peek at all the new stuff!
What I found was amazing. Those who browse here will know I have had some health excitement in the last year with months in hospital, tests galore and consultations to fill weeks of fun and records! Most of this was at least 3-4 months ago, so it should be in the record!
So how much has made it to my record?
Latest entry I could find was dated 2018!!!!
Here are some highlights:

Pathology Reports
Pathology reports provide the outcome of pathology tests performed. If you wish to know more about your pathology test results and tests performed, please see Lab Tests Online.

Not a thing from any of the hospitals or doctors at all – so I am all good apparently.
What a joke and obscene waste of money. Questions in Parliament are sure needed!
David.
David, you are not alone. I too have been watching my My Health Record and no pathology results have appeared; albeit the occasional imaging result has.
ReplyDeleteMark Butler is making some noise about Healius in today's AFR, also reported in AusDoc. It is clear he has been told by ADHA or Department bureaucrats that Healius is being uncooperative.
He doesn't understand that he is being misled with the wool being pulled over his eyes.
Mark Butler genuinely believes that if everyone's pathology results were held in the My Health Record there would be a huge decrease in the duplication of tests saving the health system (government) many $millions because doctors and patients would (could, might) access the results in the My Health Record.
ReplyDeleteWell, the GP won't because the GPs Record is more accurate and complete; the consultants most likely won't because quite frequently the consultant will require a more recent and current test be undertaken (repeated), same too for the hospital patient. Oh, and most patients aren't particularly interested because they prefer to leave the medical / surgical decision making to the clinician - surprise, surprise.
If the Minister understood these basic principles he would scratch his head and ask "What do I not understand about the My Health Record".
But yet they (Services Australia) continue to line that there are millions of useful data uploads and downloads - why? Your post makes it clear there is a real issue here, I cannot believe this is a random situation.
ReplyDeleteThis press statements seem to suggest that My Health Record is the primary location of health data which is a joke. Practitioners want the data in their own systems in a rapid way where it can be viewed in a familiar way and is available for manipulation, unlike the pure pdf version in the government systems. This has been happening for decades, albeit in a less that perfect way quality wise and everything the government has done has made this essential process worse by taking attention off the primary usage of the data resulting in a deterioration in the quality rather than building on what works. The Department of Health is clearly clueless or has other reasons for sucking up everyone's data for their own use!
