Electronic requesting (eRequesting), also referred to as eOrdering, is the safe and secure exchange of pathology information between the requesting clinical software and the pathology laboratory information system. The clinician requesting a pathology test will do an eRequest in their clinical software which is electronically transmitted to the pathology laboratory and a printed copy provided to the patient. eRequesting is required for uploading pathology results to the My Health Record to enable better connected and coordinated care.
Healthcare providers can choose not to upload to a My Health Record by checking the box labelled “Do not send to the My Health Record” at the bottom of the eRequest pathology request screen. This is the only way to prevent specific pathology results from being uploaded to the My Health Record system. Please note that manually ticking the check box on the printed paper copy is no longer valid for eRequests.
Healthcare providers will be able to access pathology results soon after they are uploaded by the pathology laboratory. Patients will not be able to access pathology results in the My Health Record until seven days after they are uploaded. This is an agreed national standard and provides a seven-day window for a provider to contact the patient to discuss the results. Visit the Australian Digital Health Agency’s website to learn more about pathology and diagnostic imaging providers uploading to My Health Record.
