‘Foundational’ My Health Record upgrade gets underway


My Health Record will abandon its outdated PDF format in favour of a new open-source health data sharing standard under a “foundational” project slated to cost upwards of $45 million.

Amid calls for the government to accelerate its overhaul the electronic health record first introduced in 2012, the Australian Digital Health Agency has approached the market for a solution that opens the door to a “data rich national repository service”.

The long-awaited upgrade promises to pull the My Health Record  into the modern era, giving both clinicians and their patients access to “more granular and standardised” health data.
