6 other groups, namely, pharmacists, medical laboratory technologists, occupational therapists, optometrists, radiographers and physiotherapists working in the Hospital Authority, the Department of Health and private hospitals, have also been given eHRSS access rights since September 2017. As at March 2019, more than 4 400 eHRSS accounts have been created for these groups of HCProfs.
With the smooth roll-out of RBAC at institutions, eHRSS access will gradually be extended to their counterparts in the community. HCProfs of these 6 groups working in community-based healthcare organisations that have joined eHRSS such as private clinics, elderly homes, radiology centres and laboratories, can access patients’ eHRs starting from the third quarter of 2019, upon obtaining patients’ sharing consents. |
