The
Concord Repatriation General Hospital (The Concord) is a 750 bed teaching
hospital with the University of Sydney. The initial EMR rollout occurred for
this site prior to HPA becoming involved. The opportunity for the ICU project
came about through Dr. Mark Kol and his unique requirements for the carts. DT
Research + HPA’s solution was applauded, and the 24-inch DT 594BU Medical-Cart
Computer was a success. Through trials, it was found that the 24-inch monitor
was required for the applications used within the ICU environment. 13 ICU Carts
with 24-inch Medical-Cart Computer have been supplied.
Main
applications used there are Powerchart, web browser for hospital intranet (hospital
policies, procedures, MIMs online) They also use PDF viewer and office apps for
writing patient discharge letters at point of care. eMedications is coming
along with a NSW state-wide based Clinical Information System for Intensive
Care Units.
