By signing this instrument, the Governor-General activated the legal framework that allows Australians to have a personally controlled electronic health record shared between their doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/personally-controlled-electronic-health-records-proclamation-2012","history":"/api/acts/personally-controlled-electronic-health-records-proclamation-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/personally-controlled-electronic-health-records-proclamation-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/personally-controlled-electronic-health-records-proclamation-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/personally-controlled-electronic-health-records-proclamation-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/personally-controlled-electronic-health-records-proclamation-2012/documents"}}
