This is a new IT system which is being integrated into Primary Care.  It is a system which is shared between your GP service and other health providers such as the Hospital and Community Care providers.  It is intended to ensure the correct care is given to you wherever you are, and whatever clinician is providing the care to you.  Many people are concerned about privacy and have asked if there is an option to ‘opt off’. Patients can Globally Opt Off by calling the following number – 0508 837 872.  This though, will mean your records will not be able to be accessed in a medical need or emergency.  Some patients have asked about privacy – this system is as secure as any other medical IT system your information is presently held on, with an added audit system to ensure no one has accessed your notes who should not have.  If you have any questions contact the HealthOne privacy office on 0508837872.
