myHealth Record
Connect your platform to myHealth Record
Australia's national health record connects patients, providers, and systems. Integrating with myHealth Record means navigating ADHA conformance, provider authentication, consent workflows, and secure clinical document exchange — not just calling an API.
CareForge has hands-on experience building myHealth Record integrations for pharmacies, clinics, and health tech products. We handle the full stack: NASH certificate setup, B2B gateway configuration, CDA and FHIR document pipelines, and the patient consent flows that regulators expect.
Common challenges
What teams struggle with
Conformance and certification complexity
ADHA conformance requirements span authentication, consent, document types, and error handling. Missing a requirement can block production access.
Provider authentication with NASH
NASH PKI certificates, HPI-O validation, and secure credential storage are unfamiliar territory for most development teams.
Patient consent workflows
Consent must be captured, stored, and enforced correctly — including access codes, emergency access rules, and audit trails.
Document format interoperability
Clinical documents may need CDA, FHIR, or both. Parsing inbound documents and generating conformant outbound documents is non-trivial.

Frequently asked
Questions about myhealth record integration
How long does myHealth Record integration take?
A focused integration typically takes 8–16 weeks depending on document types, existing architecture, and conformance requirements. We provide realistic timelines after a technical assessment.
Do we need ADHA conformance testing?
Yes, for production access to myHealth Record services you need to complete conformance testing. We guide you through sandbox testing and documentation requirements.
Can you integrate with our existing EHR or pharmacy system?
Yes. We work with your existing stack — whether that's a custom backend, off-the-shelf dispensing software, or a greenfield health tech product.
