My Health Record – Adding your Doctors HPI-I to FYDO
In order to upload Discharge Summaries to My Health Record Clinical Staff (Doctors/Surgeons) will need to supply the facility with their Healthcare Provider Identifier – Individual (HPI-I). Doctors can find out what they HPI-I is by calling Healthcare Identifiers on 1300 361 457 or they can get it from AHPRA. This number needs to be entered into FYDO by following the instructions below.
Navigate to Settings Select Doctors
Double click on the required Doctor & select Edit
Type in the Doctors HPI-I, under the section Health Identifier, and click Save
FYDO will automatically run an internal check, to ensure the HPI-I follows the required format, when you click save. If the number doesn’t meet the requirements, you will be given an alert.
You will then need to either correct the HPI-I or remove it to be able to save the rest of the information.
If the number was able to be saved, you can utilise the HPI-I Check button to verify the number. A successful verification will be identified with a GREEN boarder, and the Status and Last Verified date and time also be displayed.

Diagnosis Cluster Code User Guide
This guide is written for end users (e.g. clinical coders, medical record staff) who assign the Diagnosis Cluster Code ID during routine workflows.
What is a Diagnosis Cluster Code?
A Diagnosis Cluster Identifier (DCID) is an alphanumeric character allocated to each ICD-10-AM code reported within an episode of care to identify and maintain the link between diagnosis codes as the data is collected, validated, processed and analyzed.
When should I assign it?
Cluster codes apply for ICD-10-AM and ACS Thirteenth Edition and will be mandatory starting from 1 July 2026.
Is FYDO Cluster Code Ready?
Yes, the Diagnosis Cluster Code field is already available on the FYDO Coding Screen for each diagnosis line.
Tip: FYDO automatically assigns 0 to condition codes (U78-U88), all other diagnosis will have default 8 assigned.
While not mandatory until 1 July 2026, hospitals have the option of assigning DCIDs now or leave the cluster code as default 8.
FYDO will include Diagnosis Cluster Codes in all statutory data extracts from 1 July 2026, in alignment with IHCPA requirements.
Appointment Screen Improvements
FYDO is continuously working behind the scenes to enhance functionality and streamline workflows. Below, you’ll find an overview of the new look Appointment Screen scheduled for implementation at the end of September.
This sleek new look has been designed to support efficient workflows and allow staff to easily access the features that are important to them. All actions previously in the sidebar have been relocated to allow for a wider view to display more information that is important to you.
To choose your preferred view – All, Individual, Week, List, or Waitlist – use the dropdown menu located on the right-hand side of the date.
To view the calendar, click on the displayed date (e.g., Wednesday, 10 Sep 2025). The calendar will open, allowing you to easily select your desired date.
You can also use the arrows on either side of the displayed date to navigate forward or backward by one day or one week, making it easy to reach nearby dates.
To manage your daily tasks – such as Printing Lists, Sending Bulk SMS Messages, List Re-ordering, or Adding Patients to the Waitlist, simply use the green dropdown menu labeled Action.
The next icon allows you to filter the view based on the specific hospital status.
The eye icon allows you to customize the view to meet the specific requirements of each hospital’s department, displaying only the information relevant to you.
Finally, the filter option provides four categories – Based On, Location, Department, Doctors/Theatres, allowing you to customize the view accordingly.

What can you do to prepare for the MHR integration?
FYDO is now listed on the Australian Digital Health Agency’s My Health Record Conformance Register, that can be found here.
Facilities can now upload Discharge Summaries to MHR through FYDO, provided they have completed the following steps:
Registered their organisation and obtained their HPI-O. Added their HPI-O to FYDO by following the instructions found here.
Collecting the individual HPI-I’s of their doctors. Added the doctors HPI-I numbers to FYDO by following the instructions found here.
Review Advisory AS18/11 to conduct the required gap analysis and ensure a detailed plan, policies and procedures are in place and being implemented that align with the requirements.
Contact us here at Altura Health to obtain our CSPnumber so that you can link your HPI-O to it. Instructions on completing this can be found in slide 51 of the MHR Webinar information pack here.
Set required access levels for all staff to Upload and Remove Discharge Summaries from MHR. This can be done by an authorised staff member from your facility by navigating to Settings > User Groups.
Additional instructional pages to assist with the uploading of Discharge Summaries can be found below:
Once your hospital is set up to upload Discharge Summaries to My Health Record (MHR), users will be able to follow these instructions in order to complete that task. Removing Discharge Summaries will also be covered.
To upload a patient’s Discharge Summary, ensure the MHR Consent box is selected in the associated appointment.
If the MHR Consent box is ticked on the patient screen, it will automatically be selected when the appointment is scheduled.
If the patient withdraws their consent for the Discharge Summary to be uploaded for a particular episode, the box on the Edit Appointment Screen should be unticked.
Once it is established that the MHR Consent box is ticked, navigate to the patient’s Documents.
Utilise the Import or Scan feature to import a document into FYDO:
If you would like to use the Create Letter feature in FYDO to generate a Discharge Summary, do this from the Right-Click Menu on the Appointments Screen to ensure all episodic data is loaded into the document.
Ensure that the document is saved with a Document Type linked to MHR Template > Discharge Summary (DISSU). This may need to be set up for your facility in Documents > Documents Types. (Reach out to our support staff for assistance with this)
A Doctor with a successfully verified HPI-I will also need to be allocated.
Attempting to upload a document that is not assigned a MHR Template type of ‘Discharge Summary’ will trigger an alert message. Only Discharge Summaries can be uploaded to MHR through FYDO.
After the required document is uploaded, click the three dots to display the Menu.
Select Upload to MHR.
A confirmation message indicating a successful upload will be displayed.
Documents that have been uploaded can be identified by the MHR symbol.
Documents can be removed from MHR by following the same process above and selecting Remove from MHR.
Confirm the removal by clicking Yes.
A confirmation of successful removal will be displayed.
