GP e-health summary

The RACGP is working closely with the National e-Health Transition Authority (NEHTA) to further define the core elements of the GP health summary and its application in an electronic health record. This will provide clinicians with key health information when providing care. Health information obtained through an accurate and current health summary will ensure safe and high quality care is delivered through access to the e-health summary in an electronic health record. Software specifications need to be developed to ensure the design is technically robust. The RACGP has established a group of GPs to work with NEHTA to ensure that electronic health records are integral to the management of patient care and the treatment of patients across the health sector.
