Getting started: My Health Record for private allergy practices

As an clinical immunology/allergy specialist, you can become a responsible officer and register your private practice to access My Health Record in 5 key steps.

The Healthcare Identifiers Service (HI Service) is a national system for uniquely identifying healthcare providers, healthcare organisations and individuals receiving health care. The HI Service is a foundation component of all national digital health products, including My Health Record.

• Individual Healthcare Identifier (IHI) identifies the patient.

• Healthcare Provider Identifier – Individual (HPI-I) identifies an individual healthcare provider.

• Healthcare Provider Identifier – Organisation (HPI-O) identifies the provider organisation where health care is provided.

My Health Record is protected by high-level security and privacy controls. To view and upload information:

• your organisation (HPI-O) must be registered with the system

• you must be authorised as an individual healthcare provider (HPI-I)

• you must use approved, secure software that is connected to the system.
