Calvary eHealth

Calvary eHealth is an eHealth records system for residents of the ACT and southern NSW which will become available in the final quarter of 2011.

It is part of the Australian Government’s $466 million investment in the national personally controlled electronic health record system. This initiative will streamline and enhance patient care by linking important healthcare information held separately.

From 1 July 2012 all Australians can choose to register for an eHealth record via the national system. Once the national system is available Calvary eHealth will be connected to it.

Our system allows you to consent to share your health summary with the treating clinicians, specialists, hospitals and practices involved in your care.

You’re in control because, in partnership with your healthcare professional, you decide what information is available to other healthcare professionals via a secure electronic network.

It’s available right now for residents of the ACT and southern NSW. Consumers admitted as patients at a participating Calvary hospital or clinic commenced enrolment in the final quarter of 2011.

To be fully informed about Calvary eHealth please read the Consumer Guide and then complete the Consumer Enrolment Form. Complete the form, have your identity confirmed by an Authorised Referee and return the completed form to Calvary eHealth.
