My Health Record is a secure online health record containing summary health information from a range of clinical settings and consumerentered health notes. The system initially commenced in 2012 as the Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record, created as part of Australian Government ehealth initiatives. The establishment of a secure, nationwide system that interacts with clinical software and requires individual registration has been supported by national investment of more than $1 billion. While many clinical information systems can connect with My Health Record, there are ongoing implementation and use challenges.
