Setup and Activation Guide

Since this is the first part of connecting you to eHealth, there are a few things outside Medilink you will need to do to access My Health Record. The good news is that this process is the start for most eHealth integrations so should only need to be done once, if you already have a HPIO and HPII number you may also be able to skip some of the steps I will outline below.


 Access to My Health Record is controlled by PRODA and HPOS, here is a link to their guide on setting My Health Record: https://www.digitalhealth.gov.au/healthcare-providers/initiatives-and-programs/my-health-record/implementing-my-health-record-in-your-healthcare-organisation

 For summary:
 1. Register your organisation for an HPI-O
 2. Link to Health Professional Online Service (HPOS)
 3. Register a seed organisation with the Healthcare Identifiers (HI) Service
 4. Obtain HPI-Is for all clinical staff who will be using My Health Record

 Once you reach "Setting up access - accessing via conformant software" that is when we can assist you in linking everything to Medilink. Our main requirement is simply the security NASH SHA-2 certificate, this is easily applied for in HPOS:
