New laws have been introduced to allow more patient health information to be uploaded and available sooner in My Health Record.
Pathology results such as blood test and x-ray reports will be automatically added to My Health Record, unless you choose otherwise, and other results such as anatomical pathology or genetic testing can be viewed after five days, instead of the previous seven.
Results will still be sent directly to a patient’s GP or other healthcare provider. This ensures key health information is together in one secure place, making it easier to manage.
