Medicare's Health Identifier Service and Clinical

The Federal, state and territory governments have developed a national Healthcare Identifiers Service (HI Service) which uniquely identifies healthcare providers and individuals who seek healthcare. Medicare Australia is the operator of the HI Service. The HI Service will give individuals and healthcare providers confidence that the right health information is associated with the right individual at the point of care. This guide describes the impact of HI Service on Clinical and Pracsoft, and how to setup each in order to take advantage of the Service.
