I am quoting a client that is a mixture of GP and other healthcare

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.

One could build it probably faster than one could buy it!
Federally funded eConsent projects implemented a prototype of that
for a distributed record and granular parts of a record. A local
record would be easier than a distributed one. Source code is open
source but last I looked they had pulled down the web site : (.
Maybe wee need to FOI it back again?
In practice, it would probably be easier to implement this using
completely separate databases and a good robust export/import routine
to permit sharing. Ugly but probably does what they want.
In which case the next question is - who offers a good robust
export/import facility for records??
Ian.
