How do I gain emergency access a patient's MHR?

In a Medical Emergency, you can override any restrictions which a patient has applied to their My Health Record. This access is recorded and may be audited. The patient is also notified. Emergency Access bypasses the requirement to provide an Access code.

 

Follow these steps to gain access to a patient's My Health Record in an emergency:

*Note:  My Health Record emergency access is regularly audited by the My Health Record system operator, and providers who access records outside of an emergency situation may be criminally prosecuted.
