Exempt genetic test results if My Health Record seven-day rule scrapped, colleges say
Pathologists and GPs oppose a plan to let patients access all pathology and imaging results instantly.
Anatomical pathology, cytopathology and genetic tests should be excluded from a government plan to remove the seven-day delay on patients viewing results in My Health Record, medical colleges say.
Minister for Health and Aged Care Mark Butler called the default seven-day delay “a barrier to good clinical practice” before his department consulted on changes late last year.
