THE Pharmacy Guild of Australia has announced the development of three training modules which will provide pharmacists with education on using the new My Health Record (MHR) platform.
The modules have been created in partnership with the Australian Digital Health Agency.
With the MHR system moving to "opt out" participation toward the end of the year, the Health Department estimates 98% of Australians will be on board at that time, creating an important source of patients' key health information.
The modules revolve around accessing information about prescribed and dispensed medicines, clinical information contained in Discharge Summaries and Event Summaries as well as clinical information contained in a Shared Health Summary.
The first module is already available, with the others to be launched later this month.
Guild president George Tambassis urged pharmacies to register their participation with MHR and to undertake the CPD-accredited training - visit myCPD.org.au.
