My Health Record for healthcare professionals

My Health Record can help you care for patients with an allergy by keeping all their allergy information in one easy-to-find place. It can provide you with up-to-date details about what a patient is allergic to and how they have reacted in the past. This can help prevent you from giving medicines or treatments that could cause an allergic reaction, and it can also mean that you don’t have to rely only on what the patient remembers. Because the record can be seen by other health professionals in the patients’ care team, everyone involved in a patient’s care has the same information, improving communication and safety.
