Access to accurate health information is the foundation of safe and efficient care. My Health Record brings this vision to life by providing a secure, national platform for patient health data. When integrated with Karisma, it transforms workflows, improves patient safety, and reduces administrative effort. Here’s what you need to know.
What is My Health Record?
My Health Record is Australia’s national electronic health record system. It stores key health information such as immunisations, diagnostic reports, prescriptions, and dispensing history. Patients and providers can access this data 24 hours a day, even in emergencies, ensuring continuity of care when it matters most.
Why is integration Important?
Integration with My Health Record requires compliance with strict security, privacy, and data handling standards set by the Australian Digital Health Agency. These standards evolve regularly, making a reliable integration partner essential. From mid-2026, all radiology and pathology providers will be legislated to connect and upload reports.
