Welcome to Module 2 of the My Health Record learning pathway for healthcare providers and organisations supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
In this module, you'll learn how My Health Record keeps health information safe, and how access to the system is managed. Understanding these areas is important so you can use My Health Record confidently and responsibly in your role.
My Health Record has strong protections in place to keep people's information private and secure. As a healthcare provider or organisation, you have an important role in meeting these requirements. It's also important to understand how consumers can control who sees their information.
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
- describe how healthcare providers access and manage access to My Health Record
- outline security measures, legislation and organisational policies that support the My Health Record system
- explain appropriate healthcare provider access and use of My Health Record
- summarise consumer use and controls that support the security of My Health Record.
