NB. Elective category 2 & 3 surgery is essential surgery. It diagnoses & it cures cancer. It treats disability, so people can return to walking, working, running & living. It is not optional surgery.
I’m operating this morning so may have to halt this tweet stream midstream but want to talk about My Health Record and #optoutMHR.
By way of disclosure, I was invited on an ADHA Committee about MyHR last year. It’s unpaid & I’ve never attended because I’m already fully booked with patients when they announce the meeting dates. Also, I’m an AMA Federal Councillor. The AMA is broadly in favour of a national
medical record, but I make these tweets as a private citizen & surgeon, not because I’m AMA affiliated. Also, I did a project on MyHR last year with non-directed funding from @avantmutual - a practice grant that supported a study into MyHR implementation in specialist practice.
