Wondering what exactly the My Health Record (MHR) is? Not sure how to explain it to patients when they ask you about it? Join this session to hear from an Australian GP who is part of the Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA). Dr Moy will outline what exactly the MHR is, it’s pros and cons, and run through a PCP-style example of how a GP can bring it up and explain it to their patients. You will also have the opportunity to ask you own questions around the broad visions of digital health in Australia during our Q&A time, so bring along an inquisitive mind!
