Sonic Healthcare Group member Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology (SNP) will be the first private pathology provider to upload pathology reports directly to the My Health Record, in what will be a major advance for the clinical value of the national system.
Sonic has been working with the Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) to connect its systems to the MyHR, with Queensland-headquartered SNP set to begin uploading reports from tests carried out in north Queensland, followed by the Nepean area in western Sydney and northern Tasmania.
ADHA CEO Tim Kelsey told a conference in Sydney today that the agency will open an offer to the entire pathology and diagnostic imaging industry on Friday to help software vendors servicing the sector to connect to the system.
