The provision of healthcare necessarily involves handling sensitive personal information and requires communications between healthcare providers, so you want to ensure that your information is safe and protected. E-health systems are designed with security and privacy in mind to protect information and to record details of those who access the information. Everyone who seeks healthcare expects that their personal information be accessible by those who they trust - such as your doctor or other healthcare providers.
New technology and systems will usher in a new era in healthcare - e-health - and your privacy is a priority. Measures are being put in place to protect your personal information whilst giving you greater control over your healthcare experience.
If you have the need for anonymous healthcare, this won't change. Your identity will still be protected. When your health data flows from a hospital to a doctor, it will be faster and more accurate. The systems they use will protect your information with far greater rigour than most of the current paper-based systems.
Privacy, it's a foundation of e-health and our approach ensures your information is secure and protected from intrusion or misuse.
