In article My Health Record Creating MHR Documents, you will learn how to create and upload My Health Record documents.
There are two types of documents you can upload to a patient's My Health Record: a Shared Health Summary, and an Event Summary.
Each of these document types will be covered individually in this tutorial.
Shared Health Summaries
A Shared Health Summary is an auto-generated document that summarises some, or all of the patient's existing conditions, medications and medical history. MediRecords can generate these documents on an on-demand basis, in accordance to the Australian National Healthcare Standard for Shared Health Summaries in My Health Record.
It is important to note that Shared Health Summaries are generated from existing information recorded against the patient's record in MediRecords. You cannot add information to a Shared Health Summary that is not already recorded in MediRecords. For example, you cannot create a Shared Health Summary about an adverse reaction or allergy until it has been documented and saved within the corresponding Clinical module.
When you are creating new Medications, or recording Medical History about a patient, you can flag the record to automatically be imported into the next Shared Health Summary that gets uploaded into the patient's My Health Record.
*Note: Once you flag a record, it will be permanently appear on Shared Health Summaries for that patient. It can be however be removed / deselected at the time the health summary is created (covered later in this tutorial). If you only want to share the record in a health summary once, then it is best to add it to the summary manually at the time that you create it.
To flag a new medication, so that it gets added to My Health Record summaries, click the My Health Record Consent button, so that the Tick is highlighted.
This button is located on the second page of the prescription form. To learn how to use our prescription function, please refer to our Clinical tutorial on prescriptions here
To flag medical history, so that it gets added to My Health Record summaries, click the Send to My Health Record button, so that the Tick is highlighted.
This button is located at the bottom of the medical history form.
There are other conditions within the patient's record - like Allergies, Immunisations and Procedures, which can be added to a Shared Health Summary. However these are manually selected / deselected at the time the summary is created in My Health Record.
To create a shared health summary, navigate to the patient's My Health Record by clicking the MHR Icon in the quick action toolbar in the patient's Clinical record.
Click New Document to reveal a drop-down list, and click Shared Health Summary to open the health summary form.
The health summary form allows you to easily create a shared health summary by ticking or un-ticking the boxes relating to the information you want to share in the summary.
When the health summary form opens, it will be pre-populated with information that has been flagged for sharing.
To add information to the health summary, click the Tick-boxes next to the name of the Clinical Information that you want to add.
You can also click the Arrow to the left of the tick-box to expand the selection and display all the records within that module. Ticking or un-ticking these boxes allows you to only add selected records from individual clinical modules.
Once you have selected the records that you want to the include in the health summary, click Save And Sign to generate the document.
Before you can upload the Shared Health Summary to My Health Record, you must acknowledge the Disclaimer from the My Health Records Act (2012).
Review the disclaimer, and click Upload to add the health summary to My Health Record.
Event Summaries
My Health Record Event Summaries relate to the events that occurred on the day of the visit (today). Event summaries do not typically include historical active medications, conditions, allergies, etc - just the information recorded today. However, in some cases, you can choose to select the full medical history when creating an event summary.
To create an event summary, navigate to the patient's My Health Record by clicking the MHR Icon in the quick action toolbar in the patient's Clinical record.
Click New Document to reveal a drop-down list, and click Event Summary to open the event summary form.
When the event summary form opens, you will need to select the information that you want to share that was created on / saved to the patient's record today. When a clinical module contains new records that have a time/date stamp of 'today', there will be an Arrow to left hand side of the tick-box next to the module name.
*Note: If you want to include additional records from past consultations in an Event Summary, click the Full History tick-box and all historical patient records will be available to include in the event summary.
To select all available records to include in the event summary, click tick-box next to All.
To select all records from selected clinical modules, click the Tick-box next to the name of the clinical module.
To select records individually for the event summary, click the Arrow to the left hand side of the tick-box to expand the selection, and click the Tick-box to select individual clinical records.
Once you have completed your selections, click Save And Sign to generate the document.
Before you can upload the Event Summary to My Health Record, you must acknowledge the Disclaimer from the My Health Records Act (2012).
Review the disclaimer, and click Upload to add the health summary to My Health Record.
Uploaded Shared Health Summaries and Event Summaries are recorded in the Out section of My Health Record. Outbound My Health Record documents are created by the practice, and can deleted if required.
