Would be an asset IF ALL health care providers uploaded our medical information
I’d like to say up front that I believe most of the issues I’ve mentioned below are the result of non compliance on the part of the individual health providers and not the app itself & therefore that is reflected in my rating. I wish more people would do the same. Here are my thoughts-: It’s a promising app. However, unfortunately it’s usefulness is limited due to health care providers, who are part of the scheme, failing to upload the medical test results, hospital discharge summaries, xray & scan results etc, or outright refusing to participate in it. I’ve been frustrated on several occasions as a result of test being uploaded, but with the results being “locked for 7 days”. There is no indication as to why this happens and my most recent results are still locked after 8 days. I believe this is likely as a result of the provider requesting the lock, possibly with the expectation that the patient will see them for a full explanation of the results. It would be helpful if the app clearly displayed which providers have agreed to upload to MHR, as it’s apparently up to each health care provider whether they participate or not. I choose to specifically utilise providers who have agreed to upload to MHR. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. Without a full and complete medical record it’s use becomes limited. It’s a real shame because if participating providers were fully compliant, the app would be invaluable, especially to patients with multiple/complex conditions &/or those who need to see multiple specialists from differing disciplines. Rather than a “do not send to my health record” check box, perhaps a “send to my health record” check box would be better, as the former is clearly being ignored most of the time. I do appreciate the effort that has gone into putting this app together and I sincerely hope something will be done to perhaps incentivise providers to upload ALL results ALL the time, and thereby allow this app to achieve its full potential. Just off the top of my head, maybe signs could be provided which state that this health care provider is a proud participant (& uploader) of MHR. Advertising both the existence and availability of the MHR app & the health care providers willingness to help keep their patients well informed. Just my 2 cents worth …

AustraliaNo one but government health services adds to it.
See title above.
AustraliaNot a bad app
Pretty helpful
AustraliaBrilliant service
As someone who travels all the time, I am so happy that Australia provides this service. One thing that there is no explanation for is the 7 day waiting period to view results (which in practice seems to be 9 days). I cannot understand this, and wish it was obliterated, it wastes everyones time.
AustraliaUseless App, very little health record added.
Whats the point of the app when no medical service provider takes it seriously and uploads their report, where are all the scans and blood tests, all paid by medicare. It should be compulsory for lab that did the test to upload these records directly into this app, and the app settings decide on who can access information.
AustraliaKeeps crashing
Every time I try to open the app, it gets frozen on the loading screen and then crashes. This happens even when I try to re-download from the app store and restarting my device. Very disappointing as myhealth would be amazing if only it worked!
