RACGP updates guidance on chasing test results in anticipation of new My Health Record rule
The RACGP warns GPs to follow up test results that appear in My Health Record, even if ordered by others.
Forcing pathology companies to send results to My Health Record will lead to more GPs being confronted with findings from tests they did not order, the RACGP warns.
In February, the federal Parliament passed laws to take Medicare cash from pathology or imaging companies that did not upload to My Health Record, with exceptions for when patients did not consent or the technology failed.
