St Stephen's Hospital in Queensland's Hervey Bay is currently running a benefits realisation study in association with PwC as well as some studies on nursing workflows to accurately measure the effects on safety and quality of care of its integrated electronic medical record and medical devices.
The $96 million, 96-bed St Stephen's, which opened in October last year, has implemented 29 applications in the Cerner Millennium suite including Cerner's CareAware iBus solution for device connectivity, with 20 medical devices now integrated with the EMR and using it as the single source of truth.
