NEHTA Software Developer Community Announcement - Personal Health Notes, Advance Care Document Custodian and Personal Health Summary
Created on Monday, 20 June 2016
The National E-Health Transition Authority (NEHTA) has published updates to the following consumer end products.
Personal Health Notes, Advance Care Document Custodian and Personal Health Summary are documents that may be created by consumer portals such as the national consumer portal for the My Health Record system.
The My Health Record programme has identified specific use cases where the author of consumer documents may not have an individual healthcare identifier (IHI). For example, a care agency worker may add an advance care document to the My Health Record system on behalf of a healthcare consumer. The revised conformance profiles allow for the use of a care agency employee identifier in these circumstances. That identifier is a 16 digit identifier similar to an IHI. Product components of these end products have been updated to support this.
The related template package libraries and the template package directory have been updated to refer to the new versions of the conformance profiles.
These changes have also resulted in the archiving of the Common – Consumer Entered Information.
Further, the Common – Continuity of Care end product has been archived. The content of this product has been transferred to Common – Clinical Documents.
Who does this affect?
Developers should consider if their software needs to be tested or revised to allow for consumer documents containing a care agency employee identifier instead of an IHI for the document author.
There are no new document rendering requirements associated with care agency employee identifiers and software systems using version 1.2.9 of NEHTA's generic clinical document style sheet, published here, will render documents containing a care agency employee identifier.
If you have any questions or require further information, please call the NEHTA Help Centre on 1300 901 001.
Thank you for your continued support.
NEHTA Releases Version 6 of the eHealth Integration Sample Code
Created on Monday, 20 June 2016
NEHTA Integration Products is pleased to announce this version of the eHealth Integration Sample Code (eHISC) lets you upload pathology and diagnostic imaging reports to the My Health Record system without needing to generate CDA™ documents.
eHISC v6.0 automatically converts HL7™ v2 ORU messages into eHealth Pathology Report and eHealth Diagnostic Imaging Report CDA documents and uploads them to the My Health Record system.
The conversion capability supports ORU messages containing a PDF version of the diagnostic report. The resulting CDA documents do not contain any structured report information but instead refer to the PDF document, which is extracted from the ORU message and attached to the CDA document.
eHISC accepts ORU messages via both its SOAP web service interface and its new low-level MLLP interface. MLLP offers an easy-to-use integration path, as it is already widely supported by existing laboratory and radiology information system implementations.
Download
eHISC v6.0 is available for download from the NEHTA website, subject to the licence terms in the Source Code Software Package and the Binary Software Package.
Please download the new release from the NEHTA website:

----- End Extracts:
The second item is amazing to me. I thought we were all issued with an IHI when the Health Identifier system started. If this is the case – then why do carers need another one? Besides I am rather keen on the idea that we are pretty certain just who is entering material into the myHR – rather than just allowing a new number to be created. This all seems like a huge, and potentially a medico-legally messy and unsafe solution – or am I missing the point.
In the third outing NEHTA just confirms that they have given up and that pathology and radiology in the myHR will be a pile of .pdfs.
Really just hopeless! I wonder will the ADHA do any better – having inherited all this nonsense.
David.
