Researchers studying the use of the My Health Record at Westmead Hospital's rapid access cardiology clinic (RACC) are moving into the next phase of the project, investigating barriers to information sharing between patients and healthcare providers and between primary and acute care.

The study, one of 15 My Health Record 'test beds' announced in July last year, is looking at the use of My Health Record to support risk stratification of patients referred to the clinic. The project is also looking at the potential for a cardiology-specific app populated with MyHR information.
