A project to build a database of the various clinical IT implementations and technologies used in Australian hospitals has kicked off in the hope that the information can be shared for the benefit of the health IT community.

The brainchild of Checkley Group managing director Bruce Pedersen, the project is still in its early stages but the long-term idea is to gather data on implementations and different technologies used to then be able to measure their worth in terms of workflow improvements, clinical documentation support and device integration.
