It's a dual card system, therefore the patient card and practitioner card both need to be present for any information to be accessed and the patients still have control over what is put on their card. The card may be updated at any particular time by the doctor or medical operative during the consultation. The patient then can present it to pharmacists, referral doctor or para-medical operatives. The system interfaces to an existing network called Medical Director. Another possibility for smart cards in the system is to hold and track immunisation programs, contributing to preventative medicine and epidemiological surveys.
