AN AUDIT report on My Health Record (MHR) has declared its implementation "largely effective" and the "implementation planning, governance and communication were appropriate" according to a report in the Pharmacy Guild of Australia's weekly Forefront.
Conducted by the Australian National Audit Office, the report found that risks relating to privacy and the IT core infrastructure were "largely well managed, but management of shared cyber security risks was not appropriate and should be improved".
It also found monitoring and evaluation was largely appropriate, but future planning for this could be improved.
The report made a series of recommendations around risk management and evaluation.
The Australian Digital Health Agency and the Department of Health agreed with the recommendations - see details at guild.org.au.
