It is the case with WA state health that inside the system privacy is
relatively minimal - anyone in the system can access clinical data. The
interface with outside is jealously guarded, though because of worries
about privacy.
It is not clear from the privacy site what GPs have access to, only that
they will be involved.
If it is a one way street with data going in but not available to
outside I wouldnt be interested either

We decided not to join the trial
1/medtech cannot join in - yet

no downloading of your patient data is possible, no discharge summaries,
no path, no xrays, no nothing.
You give data to HealtheLink - but they won't give back.
We would have preferred them to spend the money on enabling discharge
summaries
to come by the way of pit/HL7 downloads. (whatever the vehicle)
Waste of money. The HealtheLink salesman kept phoning and begging us to
join, every couple of weeks until I pointed out what WE really
wanted. (electronic
discharges) Practices were lured, bribed, harrassed. No thanks.
