eHealth NSW is planning a proof of concept trial using a global trigger tool with its Cerner electronic medical record, and is also looking at incorporating patient-directed discharge letters in the system for a range of diagnoses.

In an update on the NSW eHealth strategy at the Health Informatics Conference in Sydney this week, eHealth NSW CEO Zoran Bolevich said the eMR2 has been rolled out to 159 hospitals so far, with the electronic medications management (EMM) system now live in 39 hospitals.
