eHealth NSW has issued a request for information from industry for the proposed NSW single digital patient record (SDPR), which would provide a statewide view of a patient's healthcare information in NSW public hospitals.

Following an industry briefing in August, eHealth NSW has developed a vision for the SDPR and outlined its scope, which would include the majority of functions provided by the existing electronic medical records (EMR), the different patient administration systems (PAS), the pathology laboratory information systems (LIMS) and some best of breed products supporting clinical specialties.
