An efficient, user-friendly, integrated electronic medical records (EMR) system.
State-wide, health service providers use multiple, disparate EMR systems or none at all. This means that medical professionals do not have all the information they need to assess, treat and manage their patients.
It means increased total system costs, as tests are often duplicated, and poor productivity due to inefficient, poorly designed and integrated systems and programs.
Multiple, unconnected systems mean that time and resourcing is spent on administrative tasks that could be spent on providing care to public hospital patients.
A poor EMR system has been shown in studies to result in increased doctor job dissatisfaction.
WA needs one integrated, user-friendly system that allows ‘bring your own device’ (BYOD) connectivity that is accessible and integrated with General Practice, other primary care providers and private practice, to facilitate better care, communication, including patient results and discharge summaries at a minimum, and to avoid unnecessary repeat tests.
A more efficient medical records system that allows medical practitioners to provide safer care to all patients, and facilitates true integration of primary and tertiary care, better productivity and efficiency, and greater job satisfaction.
