My Health Record System
The My Health Record system is continuing to provide information to health professionals throughout Australia. The good news is that Westerns Diagnostics in the Northern Territory is now uploading to the My Health Record.
What about the NT MeHR?
The NT My eHealth Record (MeHR) is still continuing to register consumers and is available to send and view events. Once Westerns Diagnostics is successfully uploading pathology results to the My Health Record for NT consumers, a decision will then be made on ‘sunsetting’ the MeHR, however it will be available in an historical view only capability. There are currently no dates on these actions.
