I saw the article and wondered if there is an opportunity or a plan here to create a centralised connected patient portal where appointment letters, clinical letters, results etc can be accessed by patients? And allow patients to update demographics?
It would allow both primary and tertiary healthcare information to come together for a patient?
Similar to the NHS app perhaps?
My Health Account is designed as the national verified digital health identity, with both consumer and health workforce developments. It is not intended to create a portal, but as an enabler for portals and applications to allow health data access and facilitate consent and delegations management.
I started last week as Manager - Consumer Identity and Access in Te Whatu Ora Data & Digital with responsibility for the My Health Account roadmap. Please drop me a line if you would like to know how My Health Account might help your organisations and where we can collaborate.
Hi @SamuelWong and thanks for your reply on this back in May last year.
From using the My Health Account it seems ManageMyHealth has now integrated with this.
Have there been any examples of any public hospital systems integrating with this yet? Iām interested in this in relation to new systems we will be getting at Southern as part of our New Dunedin Hospital, and wanting to make sure we are aligned with the national direction.
@damon National IDAM programme @GARRYJ is leading on this area in the public hospital system.
My Health Account Workforce and Consumer is designed as part of supporting the authentication needs of My Health Records https://my.health.nz/ as part of Hira release in middle of this year.
