PCEHR Concept of Operations
As part of the 2010/11 federal budget, the Government announced a $466.7 million investment over two years for a national Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record (PCEHR) system for all Australians who choose to register online, from 2012-13.
The Concept of Operations document provides an overview of the personally controlled electronic health record (PCEHR) system and how it will work. It has been updated following public consultation on an April 2011 draft of this document, ongoing consultations with stakeholders and lessons learned from local and international efforts. This version of the Concept of Operations will set the basis for the construction of the PCEHR system.
From July 2012, all Australians who choose to can register for a PCEHR. As the PCEHR system matures, Australians who use a PCEHR will be able to see their important health information in one consolidated view. They will be able to share this information with trusted healthcare practitioners, who in turn will be able to access their patient’s PCEHR to support the delivery of high quality healthcare regardless of where and when it is needed.
