The Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) has set up a core clinical stream as part of its work program for the coming year, adding new programs to embed telehealth and support the Health Care Homes trials to existing programs for secure messaging, medicines safety, and connecting pathology and diagnostic imaging providers and reports to the My Health Record (MyHR).

According to ADHA's corporate plan for 2016-17, released today, some of the highlights of the year will be connecting five public pathology labs and five public diagnostic imaging labs, as well as two each from the private sector, to the MyHR. eHealth NSW has also announced it will begin sharing pathology results with the My Health Record in addition to NSW Health clinicians through its HealtheNet portal some time this year.
