Federal health minister Sussan Ley has introduced a new bill to parliament that will amend the PCEHR and Healthcare Identifier (HI) Service acts to change the name of the $1.2 billion system and allow her to apply an opt-out model following a trial.

The Health Legislation Amendment (eHealth) Bill 2015 is aimed at changing the nomenclature of the system, with terms such as healthcare 'consumer' changed to healthcare recipient and PCEHR to My Health Record.
