MyMedicare aims to strengthen the relationship between patients, their general practice, GP and primary care teams. It formalises the GP’s role as central care provider, and unlocks significant benefits, including:
- access to more comprehensive information from other providers about regular patients, and a reduction in the fragmentation of care
- additional funding that is not restricted by fee-for-service, allowing greater flexibility in providing alternative models of care tailored to patient health needs
- greater support for practices and others who provide services in aged care homes.
