The eHealth Record System Also known as the Personally Controlled eHealth Record System (PCEHR) An eHealth record is an electronic summary of your patient’s key health information, drawn from their existing records. The eHealth Record System has the potential to deliver better care for patients and make the healthcare system more efficient. Family Members & Carers Information that could currently be included in an individual’s PCEHR includes:  Health summary Allied General  Medications Health Practices  Allergies and immunisations  Significant health event summaries  Discharge summaries  Advance care directive custodian contacts  Child development details My Pathology Hospitals My Access Laboratories PCEHR Controls As the system develops, it will give healthcare providers access to patient information such as:  Summary of test results (e.g. Pathology)  Diagnostic Imaging Diagnostic Imaging reports and more.

eHealth Foundations – Cont. Operated by Human Services, a NASH PKI Certificate is required by an National individual provider or organisation when they access the eHealth record Authentication System. The NASH PKI Certificate is validated each time the eHealth Record Service for System is accessed. It can also be used for sending secure messages. Health (NASH) There are three types of NASH PKI Certificates: one for Organisations, one for Healthcare Provider Individuals and one for Supporting Organisations. The Supporting Organisation certificates are issued to Contracted Service Providers who are authorised by Healthcare Provider Organisations to access the PCEHR on their behalf. NASH PKI Certificates are an important part of security . For more information on the NASH PKI visit: www.humanservices.gov.au/nash 5 National E-Health Transition Authority www.nehta.gov.au

Overview of the PCEHR registration process Step 1: a) Register your organisation with the Healthcare Identifiers (HI) Service and the PCEHR The HI Service provides a consistent set of identifiers to clearly identify consumers, healthcare providers and organisations. The HI Service allows providers to link health information to the right consumer securely, consistently and accurately b) Complete the PCEHR Participation Agreement Healthcare Provider Organsations need to enter into a Participation Agreement to be eligible to participate in the eHealth Record System. As part of this they also need to have a PCEHR security policy in place within the organisation Step 2: Apply for and obtain NASH PKI Certificates PCEHR compliant digital credentials are used to authenticate to the system and are part of the security measures put in place for the PCEHR. An appropriate policy also needs to be in place for use within the organisation. Step 3: Configure your software for the eHealth record system Configuring your software and NASH PKI Certificates for your organisations needs. This is the final step before you can use eHealth. Let’s go through each step in more detail... 7 National E-Health Transition Authority www.nehta.gov.au

eHealth Organisation Structures Seed Organisation  A Seed Organisation is a legal entity that provides or controls the delivery of healthcare services  A Seed Organisation could be, for example, a local GP practice, pharmacy or private medical specialist  The majority of organisations will be registered as Seed Organisations. For assistance in setting up your organisation structure, please contact the NEHTA Help Centre : 1300 901 001 9 National E-Health Transition Authority www.nehta.gov.au

eHealth Organisation Structure Network Organisation  A Network hierarchy operating in the eHealth Record System consists of one Seed Organisation and one or more Network Organisations  Network Organisations commonly represent different departments or divisions within a larger complex organisation such as a Hospital or a practice with multiple sites  They can be separate legal entities from the Seed Organisation, but do not need to be legal entities in their own right. For assistance in setting up your organisation structure, please contact the NEHTA Help Centre : 1300 901 001 10 National E-Health Transition Authority www.nehta.gov.au
