eHRSS Updates
The Electronic Health Record (eHR) Office continued to publicise and engage stakeholders in the public and private sectors through online and offline channels to bring them up to date with the developments and enhance understanding of the eHR Sharing System (eHRSS).
New eHRSS Collateral - Guide for Healthcare Provider
With the extension of role-based controlled access to eHRSS to additional types of healthcare professionals (HCProfs) in the community in 2019, more healthcare organisations are now able to get on board eHRSS. To facilitate interested organisations to register with the system, a newly designed booklet "Guide for Healthcare Provider" was recently released. The booklet introduces the key principles and operations of eHRSS, requirements and procedures for joining as healthcare providers (HCPs), and key points to note on system usage and privacy protection to help organisations get prepared for joining eHRSS.
Gerontech and Innovation Expo cum Summit 2019
eHRSS was featured at the Gerontech and Innovation Expo cum Summit (GIES) for the third consecutive year at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 21 to 24 November 2019. The flagship event was co-hosted by the Government and the Hong Kong Council of Social Service, and co-organised by the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation.
The eHR Office continued to join hands with the Department of Health (DH) in hosting an exhibition booth to promote eHRSS and related DH programmes, including the Elderly Health Care Voucher Scheme, the Vaccination Subsidy Scheme and the Colorectal Cancer Screening Programme. The upcoming launch of the eHR mobile application, being one of the major work targets under eHRSS Stage Two development, was also highlighted in the event.
With the use of multimedia exhibits and interactive game, the booth successfully raised visitors' interests and helped deepen their understanding of eHRSS. A registration counter was also set up to carry out on-site registration for over 300 members of the public during the four-day event.
