Private health insurer Medibank is sponsoring a trial of the SafeMate emergency medical information system for Queensland-based Medibank customers enrolled in its CareComplete chronic disease management service.

The trial also involves Queensland Ambulance personnel, who will be able to access patients' personally entered medical information by scanning a QR code on the patient's SafeMate card with their iPads.

Paramedics are as yet unable to access patients' My Health Record, as before December 1 last year they were not registered as an AHPRA-regulated health profession.
