Australia

Epic supports connecting organizations in Australia to My Health Record (previously called PCEHR) using Care Everywhere. My Health Record is a repository of patient health information and personal health records for patients that is run by the Australian government through an organization named Digital Health Australia. Care Everywhere can send and receive the following types of HL7 CDA documents:
  • Specialist letter
  • eDischarge Summary
  • eReferral
Epic also supports exporting data about outpatient services performed at public hospitals in Victoria to the Victorian Integrated Non-Admitted Health (VINAH) dataset.

The following interface specifications facilitate connecting to My Health Record and sending data to VINAH.

Outgoing PAS Data and Response Interface read the specOutgoing PAS Data and Response Interface technical specification

Sends patient, referral, administrative pathway, and encounter data grouped by patient episode to the Victorian Integrated Non-Admitted Health (VINAH) database, which is run by the State of Victoria Department of Health & Human Services in Australia. Additionally, this interface receives asynchronous acknowledgments and error information from VINAH. This interface uses messages expressed in XML encoding syntax.
