The majority of respondents to a survey of industry views on the proposed changes to the PCEHR were in favour of the opt-out model and a name change to My Health Record, but there were significant areas of concern over secondary use of information, privacy and security.
The survey (PDF), organised by the Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA) and the Health Information Management Association of Australia (HIMAA), was in response to the federal government's discussion paper on proposed changes to the legislation governing the PCEHR and the Healthcare Identifiers (HI) Service.
