Australian My Health Record (MyHR) is a significant development in empowering patients, allowing them to access their summarised health information themselves and to share the information with all health care providers involved in their care. Consequently, the MyHR system must enable efficient availability of meaningful, accurate, and complete data to assist an improved clinical administration of a patient. However, while enabling this, protecting data privacy and ensuring security in the MyHR system has become a major concern because of its consequences in promoting high standards of patient care. In this paper, we review and address the impact of data security and privacy on the use of the MyHR system and its associated issues. We determine and analyse where privacy becomes an issue of using the MyHR system. Finally, we also present an appropriate method to protect the security and privacy of the MyHR system in Australia.
