The govt announced in November 2017 that it will be compulsory for all medical providers, including general practitioners, to submit details of patient treatments in a National Electronic Health Record system (NEHR). Read here.
At that time, I responded with a post to suggest that the exercise should be carried out in phases and, in the first instance, it should only involve the hospitals. Read here.
I have not heard any news of further development on the NEHR system. I guess that the new law has not been passed by parliament.
In the meantime, we have seen two serious data breaches, namely the SingHealth cyber attack and the breach of the HIV patient register.
We should re-think the value of the NEHR system.
Here are my views.
