Hamid Razak on Health Information Bill
Clear, practical guidelines are needed for healthcare professionals who will be required to contribute to and access the National Electronic Health Record. These include knowing when access is appropriate, how to document those decisions and how to meet obligations without fear of inadvertent non-compliance. MP Hamid Razak, a private orthopaedic surgeon, made these points in parliament on Monday (Jan 12). Speaking for smaller healthcare providers who are concerned about new cybersecurity and data protection requirements, Dr Hamid called for practical assistance in tandem with calibrated enforcement.
