Melbourne's Eastern Health is aiming to achieve level six in the HIMSS electronic medical record adoption model by September 2017 for its flagship Box Hill Hospital as part of its long-term EMR implementation, which will also see what it calls its Great Digital Information Strategy rolled out to the smaller hospitals in the eastern suburbs health service over the next five years.

The $447.5 million redevelopment of Box Hill was completed ahead of schedule in 2014, with a new, 10-storey clinical services wing known as Building A opening that August and refurbishment of the existing hospital, known as Building B, completed late last year.
