Northern Beaches Hospital Transition Newsletter

Single Digital Patient Record is Coming Northern Beaches Hospital will be one of the first hospitals in NSW to have Single Digital Patient Record. The Single Digital Patient Record (SDPR) is a transformational program thatwill change how people experience and deliver care across NSW. It will streamline access to clinical information and provide a comprehensive, single view of a patient’s care journey no matter where in the public health system they go to receive care. It will do this by integrating the current electronic medical records (eMR), laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and patient administration systems (PAS). Why do we need the SDPR? Clinical information is captured in many different systems across NSW Health. Often, these systems aren’t connected statewide and care teams struggle to access comprehensive patient information if a person is visiting multiple health services across the state. Data is routinely collected but is often unable to be shared or integrated in real time. Barriers to getting the right information at the right time is a major challenge in providing the best patient care possible. To solve these challenges, a single source of clinical information is needed. More information and a staff forum on SDPR will be provided in coming weeks. SDPR is expected to be rolled out in NSLHD, including Northern Beaches Hospital, in November. Why do we need the SDPR? Clinical information is captured in many different systems across NSW Health.
