Hong Kong launches eHealth app feature for radiology report access

Users can view the reports on the app 14 days after they are released.

Hong Kong’s Health Bureau announced that users can now view radiology reports saved in eHealth accounts by the Hospital Authority, the Department of Health and private healthcare providers (HCPs) through the eHealth app.

Users can access the reports through the “Investigations” function on the app 14 days after they are released. The app’s information centre will also issue notifications.

Patients who have given "sharing consent" to private HCPs will have their radiology reports stored in their eHealth accounts for personal access and for viewing by authorised healthcare professionals.

Currently, all public HCPs and over 115 private HCPs, covering more than 550 service locations, are ready for the platform.
