eHealth rebooted

Minister for Health Sussan Ley has delivered the second reading speech introducing the Health Legislation Amendment (eHealth) Bill 2015, in which she says the Bill seeks:

"to reboot our national electronic health records system to deliver an effective system that will help improve the health of all Australians, as well as realising the benefits that instant access to and sharing of electronic health records can provide".

As all dentists know, unless and until 'MyHealthRecord' functionality is a built-in feature of dental practice software, its relevance to dentistry remains more theoretical than real.
