NEHR Access: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how registered medical practitioners can access patient health records across Singapore's public and private healthcare sectors.
NEHR Access is a system that allows medical professionals to view a patient's health history in real-time. This digital record spans both the public and private healthcare sectors.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically for registered medical practitioners.
What you get
You receive real-time access to patient health records. This means you can view a patient's medical history and data from various providers across the public and private sectors instantly.
What it costs you
While there is no direct monetary fee mentioned, you are required to complete mandatory cybersecurity training. You must also use two-factor authentication (2FA) to access the system.
The catch to know
You cannot browse records for curiosity. Accessing a patient's medical information without a valid doctor-patient relationship is considered a serious breach of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
How to apply
- Ensure your professional medical registration is current.
- Complete the required cybersecurity training modules.
