The eHISC provides implementers and software vendors with a sample implementation of a communications solution that enables patient administration systems and clinical information systems to interact with the Healthcare Identifiers Service and the personally controlled eHealth record system (PCEHR).

It is a standalone middleware solution offering the following functionality:

  • Connection to the Healthcare Identifiers Service to search for and retrieve national healthcare identifiers.
  • Assisted PCEHR registration of patients.
  • Connection to the PCEHR to:
    • Determine if a patient has an eHealth record.
    • View a patient’s eHealth record;
    • Post clinical documents into this record including:
      • discharge summaries;
      • prescription and dispense records;
      • event summaries;
      • shared health summaries; and
      • specialist letters;
      • pathology reports; and
      • diagnostic imaging reports.
  • Package these documents prior to submission.
