Health Record Overview

The Health Record Overview (HRO) is a summary of a patient's data stored in their My Health Record.

Note: The Health Record Overview is not a complete view of the individual's health information, as it contains only the information that has been uploaded to the My Health Record.
The Health Record Overview consists of the following sections:
  • Documents available on the My Health Record since the last Shared Health Summary - lists any documents that have been loaded to the patient's My Health Record since the last Shared Health Summary was uploaded. Since the majority of information on the Health Record Overview shows what was included in the patient's last Shared Health Summary, it is important to show what has been added since, and is therefore additional to this information. These documents are listed at the top of the HRO window. Double-click on these documents to preview them.
  • Shared Health Summary - shows the data from the last Shared Health Summary that was uploaded for the patient, and consists of the following subsections:
    • Current and Past Medical History - shows Problems, Diagnoses, and Procedures
    • Allergies & Adverse Reactions
    • Medicines
    • Immunisations
