Introduction
The discussion is about handling the health records which are for the Headspace in NSW. The
technology growth works over the changes where the focus is on handling the problems that are
identified about the mental illness and how the people can be taken care of. As per the research,
it is important to focus on the different processes which are set to improve the delivery services
that are provided to the customers. It includes the administrative processes where the products
are related to the “my health records” in Headspace. The focus is on handling the health services
as well as the health community to make sure that the products can handle the technology with
the other provisions related to healthcare (Dowling et al., 2013). Today, headspace has been the
best provider for the physical, mental and the other counselling services that target the mental
health. The company aims to work over creating the awareness, guaranteeing the access and
providing a proper seamless integration by the activities with the development of a sustainability
approach along with the multiple efforts. This is mainly to maintain a long-term effect on the
clients as well as manage the extensive care and the professional approach.
Problems
The problems related to how the human beings can handle the sickness or the issues related to
the different problems of health needs to be discussed. Hence, for this, the e-health records are
important to keep a track of the different medical history. Through this, there is a possibility to
keep a track on the issues as well as the information for the work allocation. The problems faced
by the patients related to the appointment and the other visiting issues could easily be resolved
through this (Griffiths et al., 2007). Here, the focus is on accessing the different information
based patterns with the proper diagnosis of the forms related to the requirements and handling

the access which is based on the requests of the system. The storage is mainly due to the
information which could be handled by the people who are able to make use of the application.
The system needs to be gripped with the proper working and the development of my health
records where the program will also be able to identify the problems of the clients and fix the
appointment with the doctors. The challenge is also about finding the proper treatment which
could be for the patient along with handling it by the different people like the psychiatrists, the
therapists and the other practitioners (Rickwood, 2012). There is a need to focus on the demands
for a proper system which could provide better solutions to the problems. Along with this, there
is a need to record the history of the patient and then help them to properly handle the medical
records.
Benefits
This is based on the facts related to the efficiency of the data where the storage is mainly through
the detail of the prescribed person. With this, the focus is also on the improvement of the
different standards which includes the individuals who are working over the assistance for the
different problems. The benefits are related to the quality improvisation, integration and the
service quality management. Here, the coordination is set through the shared infrastructure with
proper management of time and improved integrity of the system. Here, the evidence related
practices for the Headspace are mainly to work over the improvement in the qualitative and the
quantitative standards for the data usage (Sullivan, 2013). This works over the increased
individuals who are making use of the updated and headspace services. The increased access is
based on reaching the groups to come in touch with the headspace. There are new centres which
are being opened for the proper access to reach to the individuals. As per the analysis, the focus
is on handling the greater access with the information that is for the different access points which

comes in the detailed forms. With this, there is a possibility of easy access to control the
information and improved safety. The case of emergencies is based on paramedics that works
over the records to provide a better information. The history and the details are mainly provided
with the proper treatment, where the convenience is through not only storing the medical reports
and the bills but also the details related to the chronic conditions. The appointment dates and the
consultation hours are highly secured with great control of information. This could be important
for the high security of the system with the strict rules that are set in place with the enforcement
of the different cases of the medical misuse or loss (Sansom et al., 2016). The privacy is mainly
important apart from the registered health care centres, hospitals and the support centres. The
privacy requires to take hold of the contact details, date of birth and the medical records.
Capabilities
This is based on storing and then maintaining the records of the patient like the prescription of
the medicines that have been given by the doctor. The dates for the consultation and the reports
which include the proper scanning, X-rays etc. The new system can include the access to the
website and then update the data from anywhere. This will also be able to store the details of the
individuals, family and friends so that it is easy to contact the people in case of emergency. The
overview of the sessions with the professional interaction helps in processing the treatment. The
records of the patients are updated with the proper assistance given at a time. The new system
also includes the transmission of data where the different components need to work on
improving the efficiency and the service quality. It is based on providing and making use of the
new technologies as and when needed. The system need to take hold of the different forms of
data with the history and the next sessions of the treatment (Treisman et al., 2016). The data
entries like the photographs, video or the manual entry of the data also includes the authorised

types of the signatures. Here, the data comes with tracking as per the needs and the system
emergency from any part of the world (Liacos, et al., 2014).
Conclusion
There is a need to work over the treatment methods and the services which relate to the
corporation of a proper treatment method which includes how the people are being treated in the
early stages of the mental illness (Brimblecombe et al., 2016). A major requirement is to reduce
the impact of illness on the young people and work over the undesirable risks which includes the
delay in the treatment. There is a need to focus on the alternatives which works over the demands
which comes for a long time. The other alternatives related to the demands come from the health
care which provides a solution to problems relating to the procedure of the treatment methods. It
helps in properly handling the ways to treat the patients and give a proper understanding of the
mental health condition for the patients. The focus is also on the increased individuals who make
use of the headspace services with the increased access that need to reach the groups with the
new centres that are being opened for more access to reach the individuals.
