On 2-3rd March, AMSANT attended the Telstrahealth HealthConnex conference, and gave a 45 minute presentation on the progress of eHealth in the NT focussing on the successful uptake and usage of electronic health record systems by NT ACCHS to record, report and securely share patient information so that improved health outcomes can be achieved. It once again testifies to the incredible work done by so many in the NT ACCHS sector that has led this sector to be national leaders in eHealth. Some of the learnings from the conference were
- Telstra is well advanced in its plan to establish itself as a national provider of eHealth connectivity systems from electronic health record systems, messaging and address repositories, telehealth, cloud storage of data, health analytics, etc.
- Communicare is progressing with its Dashboard development, having integrated Microsoft Power Business Intelligence into the product and almost having it ready for trial
- Woomera, the new version of Communicare using SQL server, is progressing and will be starting to be trialled throughout the year. This will include a new interface which has been designed from users feedback to be easier and more instinctive to use.
