ehrss updates

As a continuous effort to publicise the Electronic Health Record Sharing System (eHRSS), the Electronic Health Record (eHR) Office had launched a community roving exhibition together with a series of promotional and engagement activities. New thematic collaterals were also introduced to healthcare providers (HCPs) and patients to enhance understanding of eHRSS.

 
eHRSS Community Roving Exhibition
To sustain the momentum of the one millionth patient registration at eHRSS’ third anniversary, a roving exhibition was launched by the eHR Office to further promote eHRSS in the community. The first exhibition was held at the Amoy Plaza in Kowloon Bay (26 to 30 July 2019). Registration counters were also set up to facilitate visitors to register on-site. Close to 770 members of the public were registered during the exhibition.
 
The concept and benefits of eHR sharing, key features of eHRSS and its latest development were highlighted through display panels and video broadcast at the exhibition. Participants including citizens in the neighbourhood and visitors to the venue were introduced to eHRSS and invited to take part in an interactive fun game to learn more about the system. For upcoming exhibitions, please stay tuned to the eHRSS website.

Promulgation at Social Media Platform

To complement the existing publicity channels, the eHR Office had utilised digital marketing more extensively to promulgate eHRSS to a wider range of audience and encourage participation. Since May, Internet users would find eHRSS appearing at popular social media platforms such as YouTube and the Google Search Engine and Display Network. Through these platforms, viewers would be directed to the promotional videos where they would find more information about eHRSS and links to online registration at the eHRSS website.
