Ryde Newsletter - May 2024

Cardiac Rehabilitation The Ryde Hospital Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) Service will temporarily close by the end of May and the nursing staff will relocate to RNS Cardiac Rehabilitation Service until the redevelopment of Ryde Hospital is complete. At which time, the nursing staff will return to Ryde and the CR service will recommence on the Ryde campus. The Ryde CR service was implemented in the late 1990s and since 2000 have had over 4,000 admissions. The staff are excited about returning

to Ryde in a few years’ time to continue providing an excellent program to the residents of this area. During the process of packing up the service, the staff had time to reflect on the many thank you cards, letters and donations received by past participants and reminded them of the impact they have had on patients journeys through their cardiac recovery. While the CR service at Ryde is closed, all patients who experience a cardiac event will continue to have access to a Cardiac Rehabilitation and should be referred to their closest Cardiac Rehabilitation Service as part of their ongoing care.

HIS Move to Macquarie Since December 2023, Ryde HIS has been preparing for their office relocation to Macquarie Hospital campus. During this transition period, they have addressed the forward scanning backlog and maintain all KPIs. The auditing backlog project and the microfiche project have been successfully completed. HIS extend their

heartfelt appreciation to all the staff who have worked over the weekends to complete these projects. • The new Ryde HIS office in Building 6 at Macquarie Hospital will be ready by the end of May and the team expects to commence working in the new building from mid-June. • The handling of deceased paperwork to be transferred to the Ryde Hospital Exec Admin Team. • All Ryde HIS microfiches have been relocated to RNS HIS. • A dedicated fleet for Ryde HIS to transport clinical documents to the new HIS each morning. • Relocation consultation with HIS staff was completed in April. • A memo about the HIS relocation will be sent to all Ryde Hospital staff in May. • Unscanned historical records from June will be transferred to the new HIS at Macquarie. The HIS team will continue scanning historical records once the team has moved to the new department. Some minor process changes are required for departments outside of HIS; education around these will be provided ahead of the move. In particular, after a patient is discharged from an inpatient, outpatient or community encounter, the associated clinical documents must be delivered to the cupboard underneath the pigeonholes behind reception instead of being delivered to the HIS department. Customers wishing to attend HIS should be directed to Building 6, Macquarie Hospital or to contact HIS via the same phone number or email NSLHD-RYDE-HIS-Medicolegal@health.nsw.gov.au .
