	Abstract:	A model is described whereby Electronic Health Records (EHRs) stored on a remote central server can be accessed from doctor's surgeries in regional Australia. The centrepiece of the model is a smart token on which reside unique identifiers, which facilitate secure, remote, transportable access by consulting physicians of patient clinical data, at the discretion of the patient.
