Commonwealth Government: My Health Record System Project

This project analyzes the Commonwealth Government's My Health Record system, focusing on its vision, deliverables, and outcomes. The system aims to provide a secure and reliable electronic health record for Australians, enhancing patient and doctor access to health information while ensuring data security. The project addresses various problems in existing health record systems, such as security vulnerabilities, medication errors, and access delays. It highlights the system's capabilities, including comprehensive reporting, patient health tracking, and efficient medicine management. The benefits discussed include improved data confidentiality, better governance, and enhanced communication between patients and doctors. The project concludes that the My Health Record system is beneficial for both patients and doctors, offering sufficient data access and improved healthcare management. The document includes references to support the analysis.

Project vision document on “My Health Record”
This project depicts the crucial necessity of implementing an electronic health record
keeping system developed by commonwealth Government. This health records contains
individual’s health record details and store hose information under high security. This system is
referred to as a reliable, secure and trustworthy resource for the Australian common people. This
system helps both the doctors and patients to access their health records during diagnosis
(Waterson, 2014). Through this system each and individual will be able to control their health
status. Due to high level security nine of the unwanted users will be access information from the
server of My Health Record system. The vision of this project gives an enhanced healthcare
support system with a possible care.
Project deliverables and project outcomes
Project deliverables: The objective of Commonwealth Government “My health record”
system is to deliver an electronic health record details designed considering process driven heath
care technology through which the health records can store securely (Ventola, 2014). Whenever
required the patients and even doctors can access information from the record but permission
none of the outsiders can access any data.
Project outcomes: According to the integrated patients care system implemented by
Commonwealth Government, all the previously determined issues can be eventually resolved
(Pearce & Bainbridge, 2014). The patients can take care of their health and can also control their

health issues with the data stored in the “My Heath Record” system. The health information can
be shared between the patients and doctors securely. Due to the incorrect prescribed medicines,
the number of patients taking admission in the hospitals a lot (Pavlik et al., 2014). These issues
can also be resolved accordingly with the implementation of “My health Record” project.
However, the problems, capabilities and benefits of “My Health Record” system are
demonstrated below:
Problem
 After analyzing the previous health record details it has been found that many
issues are associated to it those are needed to be resolved by the improvement of
the “My Health Record” system.
 In this case if proper password protection or security is not provided then anyone
can access the health record details from the server without permission
 Issues are rising regarding prescribed medicines if wrong records are accessed
 As there is no specific time to take appointment thus, time delay may took place
 Due to record resources the patients may fail to access information about their
current health records
 In regional areas, due to lack of internet connectivity health records may not be
accessed on accurate time
 Lack of clinical usability in the electronic healthcare record keeping system
 The system fails to provide sufficient terminal server environment to the system
developers

Capabilities
For building patient centric data through the exchange of data among the patients and the
doctors the “My Health Record” system gives many opportunities accordingly (Nazi et al.,
2014). The capabilities and the features of “My Health Records” are as follows:
 It provides wide reporting requirements and approach to calculation to the users.
It can efficiently keep the record of the patient’s health condition.
 In order to reduce the rate of system errors, the details health records of the
patients are stored on separate storage or server.
 “My Health Records” provides demographic details of the patients
 The system can efficiently manage the specified list of medicine for the patients
 The serious patients can also get sufficient treatment on time from the doctors
 The data will contain their previous surgical histories, clinical as well as clinical
history
 It provides managerial guidelines to the patients with specific data about the pre
and post procedural needs
Benefits
However, with the help of the “My Health Record” system both the patients and the
doctors will get enough benefits and the benefits provide by the system are follows:
 For a high level server security the unauthorized users will not be able to access
any information from the stored records
 This project is completely focused on the improvement of values and position of
the clients.

 This E-health Record system keeps the data confidential to avoid unauthenticated
data hacking
 In order to meet the requirements of the users “My Health Record” system gives a
better governance power.
 The system gives an open as well as systematic communication among the
patients and doctors
Project summary
From the complete discussion of the project it can be concluded that, “My Health
Record” system developed by Commonwealth Government, is very much effective from both the
patient and doctor’s perspectives. Through this system the patients can get sufficient data
whenever required.
