Manage My Health’s role in Driving Equitable Healthcare Access in Te Tai Tokerau

In the evolving healthcare landscape, Manage My Health is a pivotal tool in Te Tai Tokerau’s new online health support initiative. During February, DORA Te Waka Matihiko Hauora, a mobile learning centre, will be touring Te Tai Tokerau, helping kiwis join the growing numbers who benefit from online access to their health records.

In partnership with the Digital Inclusion Alliance Aotearoa (DIAA), Te Whatu Ora – Te Tai Tokerau, Mahitahi Hauora PHE, and Far North District Libraries, Manage My Health is committed to bridging the digital divide and ensuring all residents of Te Tai Tokerau have access to quality healthcare.

Dr Di Davis is the Portal Project lead for Te Whatu Ora – Te Tai Tokerau. She encourages anyone who has questions about accessing their hospital records to visit DORA and get the help they need. “From November 2023, Northland consumers have been able to view their hospital clinic letters and discharge summaries via the Manage My Health portal. Referral notifications are being delivered later this year. We are also working with the other portal providers to ensure the added value of hospital documents is available to all consumers, irrespective of what portal their practice offers,” she said.

At the core of this initiative is Manage My Health’s mission to empower individuals to manage their health effectively. By providing easy access to medical records, including hospital discharge summaries, clinic letters, and GP records, Manage My Health is not only simplifying healthcare management but also fostering equitable access to healthcare services.
