Webinar Recap: Enhancing Aged Care with My Health Record
About this resource
Aged care professionals recently attended a webinar on My Health Record (MHR) in Aged Care, delivered in collaboration by Adelaide PHN and Country SA PHN on behalf of the Australian Digital Health Agency.
The session provided valuable insights into how MHR enhances care coordination, improves access to essential health information, and supports better health outcomes for older individuals.
Key takeaways were:
- MHR ensures key health information is easily accessible and follows the individual between aged care and acute care settings.
- MHR improves information-sharing between healthcare and aged care clinicians to streamline care, reduce redundancy, and enhance health and wellbeing outcomes for older individuals.
- The Aged Care Transfer Summary, powered by My Health Record, provides key health information to support smooth transitions from aged care to hospital care.
