Fremantle Hospital will join WA's flagship Fiona Stanley and 17 other hospitals in the state in using Core Medical Solutions' BOSSnet electronic medical record, with plans to roll out BOSSnet's electronic forms and scanning modules later this year.
Fremantle and Fiona Stanley are both part of the South Metropolitan Health Service and patient transfers between the two hospitals are a daily occurrence.
Adelaide-based Core Medical Solutions (CMS), which was acquired by US EMR giant Allscripts in December last year, has now rolled out BOSSnet to over 100 hospitals, including eight Epworth Healthcare sites in Melbourne and Geelong, Western Health, Barwon Health, Ballarat Health Services and it is shortly to go live at the Grampians Rural Health Alliance.
