My Health Record in Practice: What allied health professionals need to know

Join national leaders and clinicians for a practical and informative session, hosted by Allied Health Professions Australia, that will give allied health professionals a clear understanding of how to access and use My Health Record (MHR) via conformant software and the National Provider Portal and the benefits doing so can provide.

MHR is becoming an increasingly important tool for delivering coordinated, high-quality care - especially within chronic condition management programs and multidisciplinary teams. Understanding how to use MHR efficiently can help you access and contribute to richer clinical information, streamline communication, and demonstrate the value allied health professionals provide to consumer outcomes.

Participants will learn:

• Why using MHR to source and share information is likely safer and more secure than current methods
• What information MHR contains and how it can inform clinical practice
• The steps required to enable use of MHR in practice
• How to identify the available options for connecting to MHR and where to access detailed implementation guidance
• How the Sharing by Default initiative is enhancing the value of MHR and may mandate your use of the system

Who should attend:

• Allied health professionals
• Private practice owners
• Practice managers
• Allied health service delivery organisations
