Clinical Functions
The introduction of the eMR over the past decade has created a good technology foundation for clinical functions. However, gaps still exist in the form of: ► Gaps in functionality including in the areas of anaesthesia, outpatient, medical device integration, nursing care plans, second level clinical decision support and others. These gaps directly inhibit the organisational goal of reaching a HIMSS EMRAM stage 6 maturity. ► A number of specialties are not covered by the eMR e.g. haematology, oncology, anaesthesia. As a result, the specialties utilise separate systems, which are not always integrated with the eMR, or are still paper based. This has resulted in a hybrid patient medical record creating risk in quality of care and inefficiency for staff. ► The Patient Administration System is functioning well but, in its current form, does not meet the growing expectations of consumers and patients in enabling a better patient experience (Covered further under the patient experience capability).
