Dear HKCS Members,
Development of a territory-wide patient-oriented eHealth Record (eHR) Sharing System was one of the healthcare service reform proposals and received broad support from the community.
The eHR Sharing System will provide an essential infrastructure for access and sharing of participating patients' health data by authorised healthcare providers in both the public and private healthcare sectors. Through timely sharing, different healthcare providers can provide collaborative patient-centred care more efficiently and in a seamless manner, and to realise the concept of 'records follow patients'.
The Framework aims to give legal protection to data privacy and system security prior to commissioning of the System. eHealth Record Office of Food and Health Bureau is launching this consultation to seek your views on the Framework. They are seeking for your participation and your views to realise the potential and benefits of the eHR Sharing System.
