The flying doctor service has contact with around 1000 patients a day and had been using a mix of paper-based records and “standalone” record management systems prior.
The new health record is expected to “streamline clinical information collection and analysis, leading to faster and better decision-making by medical staff” by acting as a single source of truth, the flying doctor service said in a statement.
“Patient and emergency incident data can now be synchronised automatically in the field, back at base, across operation centres, and with other healthcare providers.”
There is also a capability built for field doctors in remote Australia to enter patient data on a tablet in offline mode, and have it upload and sychronise later.
The project commenced at the start of last year.
