What is an electronic exchange system?

An electronic exchange system is a system that allows a care provider to request medical data from another care provider. For example, an out-of-hours GP service may request data from the GP.

The care provider checks Mitz to see if you have given consent. If you have given consent, your care provider will use an exchange system to view your medical data.

Mitz only lists your consent settings; it is not an exchange system.
