Take a multi-media tour of e-health in action in Adelaide
6 August 2010. NEHTA is pleased to announce the Model Healthcare Community (MHC), a demonstration of how the new national Healthcare Identifiers Service (HI Service) works, will be on display at the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) offices in Adelaide from Wednesday 11 August.
The MHC display is part of e-health Futures, the RACGP’s interactive e-health display demonstrating how e-health information will work among healthcare professional and between healthcare settings.
The HI Service commenced operation on 1 July 2010. It has been developed as a foundation service for e-health initiatives in Australia recognising that a requirement for a safe and secure e-health system is the ability to uniquely identify everyone involved in a single healthcare transaction. Medicare Australia is the operator of the HI Service.
From Wednesday 11 August in Adelaide, visitors can take self-guided tours and see how Healthcare Identifiers will be used in practice to underpin a patient’s journey through the health system and how GPs and their practice staff, hospitals, pharmacies and specialists will work with the HI Service.
