My health record
^^^^ Exactly. As I said in the other thread, a misdiagnosis of asthma by an overzealous doctor (as happened to a friend's kid) can cut off opportunities in the future.

While ICD-10 and DSM-5 remain the preferred yardstick to measure everything against for limiting liability, and of which it's amendment operates at glacial speed, god help you if you are caught out and the guide turns out to be proven wrong. Reading this thing it does feel that when it comes to medicine en-masse we are only just leaving our past medieval practices behind.
... and as I said CS, it only goes on there if you WANT it to. Once your child’s condition was confirmed, you may choose to add it. It’s actually there to help you, you just need to manage it for best results.
Sigh. Does CASA distinguish between childhood asthma, Allergy Asthma, thunderstorm asthma, hay fever and full blown asthma? Probably not, at least not without $$$$ of specialist reports and maybe not even then.
Having an E Health record is effectively giving yourself a criminal record.

Folks,
At its most basic, the eHealth record is a great idea --- if it was confined to saving your life --- but it is the wise range of non- saving your life agencies who have access with little or no restriction, and that is before we even look at the lack of effective security of the records, (as has been pointed out, there is no security from a wide range of CASA staff from accessing your CASA medical records --- regardless of what the internal security procedures might be alleged to be --- and I have personal experience of that).
And that is before we get to hackers.
Until the whole thing is reformed back to what was intended in the first place, opt out.
Tootle pip!!

I’ll risk it , I prefer to have my records available for a treating dr to study at moments notice . I’m allergic to certain medicines. Blockchain is coming for medical records and that will fix the security issues but in the meantime I’ll keep loss of license topped up and risk the nosey casa office staff .
Toruk, but by definition, if you have a long and convoluted medical history that a treating doctor has to study at a moments notice, then you don’t have a class 1 or 2 medical certificate anyway. CASA doesn’t give certificates to people with a history of complex medical conditions.
‘’Furthermore, few good doctors will accept diagnosis from some unknown locum at a bulk billing clinic that has found its way onto your E health record. They will order their own tests.
You have far, far too much faith in the medical system and practitioners.
E Health will be a national scandal in years to come when it is shown to contain garbage. That is certain to happen.

I’m not talking about opting out. I am talking about hiding potentially serious medical conditions from CASA.
Our family GP, is advising people to opt out My Health Record.
He gives the example of having a stubby or two, on a Saturday afternoon and then having a minor accident while doing an oil change on your trusty ute. You finish up in accident and emergency requiring a few stitches in your hand, what happens if it gets written on your health record that you presented at hospital in an agitated state, covered in blood, a few bruises etc.
Bit awkward if it gets written up by some ward clerk, nurse that you arrived at hospital in agitated state because you are a drug user, or heavy drinker or whatever.
Plenty of people will be eager to see or have an interest what is on your health record- from private health insurance, car insurance, travel insurance, life insurance or even down to your bank for a business or home loan.

As I understand it the security which is promised - your file will be password protected - can be overridden at any A&E department of any hospital at any time you present there. Now, how many thousands of people will legitimately have access to the override codes???? Tell me that not one is sloppy with passwords or even bent.
Security is not a problem as far as CAsA is concerned... .
If bureaurats want to go there they will. CAsA keeps no tags on who looks up yr info.and breaches their/your privacy provisions.
Retski (AWI CNS) the criminal did that for a phone call threatening a bashing, having just been reminded of his earlier criminality, nicely sidestepped by the legal perverts at the top, Dr Discrepancy et al....
AvMed have your ASIC portrait...so you can see for them its open slather..
Avmed will love MHR. !!

Yep.
I opted out a few months back. That attempt was for my wife and kids. No idea what the difference is/was.
