Peter,
We do not have a clinical stream to our pms but have been looking a
little bit into these and other related issues.
Our view is that actually the patient owns the ehr content and
portability choices, therefore a practitioner that wants to restrict
access to the patient's ehr would be clearly overstepping their
authority as the patient chooses where to go and who to see. In our
opinion, is up to the patient and not to the practitioner to restrict
access. Are we over-simplifying privacy and ownership issues?
On the other hand, closed commercial system .. at the moment, can do
what ever their specific implementation and the law will allow to do.
That may change in the not too distant future.

I am quoting a client that is a mixture of GP and other healthcare
providers, for example nutritionists. They want a clinical record
system where records are able to be protected, as in if you are not the
provider that saw the patient you don't have access to the clinical
record, until the provider that 'owns' the record allows you permission
to do so.
Leaving aside the problems with this implementation (I've had a long
discussion on why this is generally not a good idea), is there any
Australian clinical software that can do this at present? This ability
was touted as part of Best Practice, but I don't know if it was
implemented, or is in use at all.
thanks,
Peter.
