Information Statement in relation to the Electronic Health System 

 

Developed by the Hong Kong Government, the Electronic Health System (“eHealth”) provides an electronic platform that aims to build up free and lifelong electronic health records for all members of the public.  The participation is voluntary.  Before giving the joining consent and/or sharing consent, please read carefully the “Participant Information Notice” issued by the Commissioner for the Electronic Health Record (“Commissioner”).  For details including the Electronic Health Record Sharing System (Amendment) Ordinance 2025 (“Amendment Ordinance”), please visit the eHealth’s website (http://www.ehealth.gov.hk/) and/or eHealth App.        

Quality HealthCare Medical Centre Limited (including its clinics and operating entities at different service locations with eHealth registered healthcare provider number: 9265486345, “QHC”) is a registered participating healthcare provider with eHealth.

Starting from 27 March 2026, after we have obtained the patient’s joining consent, we will deposit the patient’s electronic health records within the shareable scope into the eHealth system to assist the continuity of care in accordance with the Amendment Ordinance.  You may also visit the eHealth’s website to understand the electronic health records capable to be deposited by the relevant registered healthcare provider.    

Participating healthcare providers can only view patient’s medical records after the patients have given sharing consent, in the form and manner specified by the Commissioner, other than the Department of Health, the Hospital Authority (HA), the Primary Healthcare Commission, and healthcare facilities managed or controlled by the Government, the HA, or an HA subsidiary for whom the sharing consent is deemed to be valid as long as the patient is participating in eHealth.   

Unless otherwise indicated, the electronic health records dated on and after the effective date set out in table below would be uploaded to eHealth.
