Do you know the difference about when you should upload an SHS versus an Event Summary?
A shared health summary is a patient’s health status at a point in time, which can include medical conditions, medicines, allergies and adverse reactions, and immunisations. It is created by an individual’s nominated healthcare provider, as defined in the My Health Records Act, with the information extracted from their local clinical information system. Shared Health Summary example.
Event summaries are intended for healthcare providers who are not the patient’s regular provider/nominated healthcare provider. They capture health information about a significant healthcare event that is relevant to the ongoing care of an individual.
It may be used to indicate a clinical intervention, improvement in a condition or that a treatment has been started or completed. Generally, an event summary is used when it is not appropriate for the healthcare provider to create and upload a SHS, discharge summary or specialist letter.
