6.3 Improve engagement and utilisation of available technologies and systems
Single Digital Patient Record (SDPR)
NSLHD will be one of the first districts to go live with the Single Digital Patient Record (SDPR) in 2026 (projected), and the SERT Institute has been acknowledged as well positioned to provide valuable insights into the transition of Cerner eMR to EPIC to ensure the impact on existing reporting processes for surgical department are kept to a minimum.
The NSLHD Chief Executive has expressed interest in the SERT Institute being involved the SDPR working groups.
The SERT Institute staff will attend relevant training as it becomes available to ensure they support the transition.
In 2023-2024, training was also undertaken on “R” statistical analysis, Power BI, Power Automate and NSW Health Enterprise Data Lake and Health systems upgrades.
The Surgical Audit Gateway (SAGE)
The Surgical Audit Gateway (SAGE) was developed by the DASO Unit in 2020-2022 to provide surgical departments with a secure one-stop platform to store sensitive reports, departmental audits and M&Ms and provide a portal for surgeons to access their databases and dashboards. The utilisation of SAGE has continued to be minimal due to several factors, such as access issues and limited utility. This will be monitored further over 2025 and if utilisation remains low consideration will be given to migrate to a new platform. Other secure platforms available include Microsoft TEAMs, OneDrive and Sharepoint.
6.4 Improve clinician knowledge and understanding of clinical audits and processes Currently, there are no local guidelines to inform surgeons on how to perform robust clinical audits and M&M meetings. A guideline for clinical audits and M&Ms will be developed in 2025 with surgical input and consultation to ensure relevancy and promote consistency in clinical audits and M&Ms being conducted at RNSH/NSLHD. This will be developed through consultation with local and district clinical governance and quality units and also medical services, to ensure alignment to current policies and guidelines.
