10 Definition of shared health summary
The shared health summary of a registered healthcare recipient, at a particular time, is a record that: (a) was prepared by the healthcare recipient’s nominated healthcare provider and described by him or her as the healthcare recipient’s shared health summary; and (b) has been uploaded to the National Repositories Service; and (c) at that time, is the most recent such record to have been uploaded to the National Repositories Service.
Note: This means that there is only one shared health summary for a healthcare recipient at a particular time.
