The roll out of the GP Access to The Viewer (GPTV) portal, which allows authorised GPs to access patient information held in Queensland public hospital systems in real time, has been described as a “game-changer” by users.
GPTV first went live on June 28 and by September, over a thousand GPs had registered to use it. It gives GPs real-time access to The Viewer, Queensland Health's clinical portal that is integrated with the state's electronic medical record (ieMR) and provides aggregated data such as pathology results, medications and diagnostic imaging reports and patients' My Health Records.
