implementar um registro eletrônico pessoal de saúde (PHR) para todos os
cidadãos está encontrando resistência por parte dos médicos. O PHR será
de propriedade de toda pessoa acima de 14 anos de idade, que controlará
quais informações serão colocadas ou omitidas, e quais médicos poderão
ter acesso a ela. Os médicos alegam que os registros serão ineficientes
e até perigosos, porque pacientes ocultarão informações essenciais, como
consumo de drogas e certas doenças, dos médicos, podendo causar decisões
erradas, efeitos adversos de tratamentos, etc. ALém disso, espera-se que
poucas pessoas irão usar o sistema, o que fará os médicos ignorar o PHR
como adjunto à atenção médica.

Doctor boycott threat on electronic health records
DOCTORS warn they will boycott the Federal Government's
multi-million-dollar plan to roll out electronic health records if
patients can edit or withhold their medical history.
It is feared patients will withhold embarrassing information when they
start accessing and monitoring their medical files for the first time
from July 2012.
Incoming Australian Medical Association president Steve Hambleton said
he supported electronic health records, which would be shared with other
medicos to help provide better health outcomes, but serious concerns
remained.
More than $466 million will be spent on developing personally-controlled
electronic health records, which is one of the Gillard Government's key
health reforms.
Patients will be able to decide what is recorded on their files and
which medical professional can access their health records.
It is proposed that teenagers at 14 years will be able to control their
own records and, after 18 years, a parent will not be able to access
their files.
Dr Hambleton said doctors were not comfortable with some of the proposals.
"What's the indemnity cost if it's not updated and it's two weeks out of
date (and there's an adverse outcome)?" Mr Hambleton said.
"If they can hide and/or delete (information), it's not going to be
accurate and doctors won't use it. Consumers can delete what kind of
drugs they are on."
Dr Hambleton said another problem was that the plan was opt-in, meaning
patients would have to register for the new system.
He said if very few people used it, doctors would not go looking for the
electronic health records.
A spokesman for the Federal Department of Health said consumers would
control what information was stored on their record and who could view
the files.
