Getting Started with My Health Record
ACRRM is well positioned to deliver information and education with an emphasis on rural and remote practice and use of technology to optimise exposure to education. ACRRMs practical approach is required to ensure that the limitations as well as the benefits are understood so clinicians can make fit for purpose decisions regarding the application of eHealth within their practice and their practice population.
ACRRM includes eHealth in it's Primary Curriculum ( IMIT syllabus) which defines the key knowledge, skills and abilities for the future rural generalist workforce https://www.acrrm.org.au/misc/curriculum/Default.htm.
We have applied those requisite abilities in an eHealth online education module which is freely available to College Members and registered users of this website http://www.ehealth.acrrm.org.au/node/1569
