He understands the substantial benefits of its access and strives to improve his skills in the area of digital health platforms especially the use of electronic scripts in the public health setting. The smooth flow of information and ease of access of medical information along with immunisation details and developmental screening tools at one access point for children and adolescents can be improved in ‘My health record’. MHR can provide very relevant information which can be instrumental in saving lives in acute care settings. Understanding of digital health platforms may become part of the training curriculum for doctors in the future. There is a need to adapt the use of electronic scripts for paediatrics, especially in regional settings.
