I use it now although I didn't to to begin with. Regret that as it's so easy to check on blood tests and anything else. Results are uploaded but can't be opened by me for 7 days after publication. I suppose that's to give the Dr time to see them without being hounded by the patient. I assume that's the same with everyone and not just some setting I have missed.

I was talking to a friend last night and she said I should download the My Health Record app.
Where you can see all your blood tests, scans and results etc.
I seem to recall some chatter about it when it first came out.
Anyone have any opinions or experience?

Yep. I can check all the scripts I been have issued and dispensed. Some places don't upload to it which is disappointing. All of husband's hospital visits and results are there however the place we go for his bone scans have to be manually imported by the GP I believe as they don't upload to My health they have their own system
I am also a bit reassured that is something happens eg a car accident or suchlike , my GPs information is there , my meds etc

I've found that many providers never upload to it. I have to go to a specific lab and they always load up. I do have the breast screen results loaded, and the Covid tests that we were required to have during that time. And that's it. No recent X-rays. Annoying. Especially when they cost a heap but I have to go to the GP to get the results. Get them to print them and so on. It wasn't supposed to be like that.

Scripts filled are in the Medicare file which has always been available. Separate to my health.

That's the same for everyone, 7 days. Some results may need a Doctor to deliver them with counselling etc, also to prevent people self medicating when they see a result (as some on here seem to do a lot!)

I think there are a couple of tests available immediately but most is the week.

Yes. Locked for 7 days. Covid and similar were available immediately.

About time. S&N were supposed by law to upload pathology results to MHR by dec 2024. Still have not done it! QML no problem but S&N you have to go to website after tests and specify the day and time of the collection. Bloody ridiculous lazy company.

I know some diagnostic services and medical practitioners and specialists want to keep results from the patients and some practices still resisting disclosure. Should be fined for non compliance IMHO.

But that’s not the only problem with S&N. They are the nearest lab for me to get my therapeutic venesections. But about 5 years ago they decided that they wouldn’t do them for people over 70. So now have to go to QML at Buderim.

Thanks to being able to see my MRI report in the QScan app, and to my physio, I understand more about my back pain than what the ortho explained to me.
He basically said my discs are degenerating/have degenerated, there’s no surgical answer and I should see a pain management clinic.

Severe dessication at L4-L5 and L5-S1 mild to moderate arthropathy and prominent L5-S1 discopathy. Moderate bilateral exit foraminal stenosis at L5-S1, mild mass affecting L5 nerve roots.

My physio says my lower spine will likely fuse itself over the next 10-15 years. And the MRI explains some thing about my back/body he was finding confusing.
In the mean time, calf and hip flexor stretches and pelvic exercises.
