Sydney Local Health District (LHD) has rolled out Cerner's PowerChart Maternity module at Royal Prince Alfred and Canterbury hospitals, with a baby girl called Charlene Nguyen the first newborn to have a digital health record fully integrated into NSW Health's Cerner Millennium electronic medical record (eMR).
Charlene was born at Canterbury Hospital on Tuesday, October 1 following the roll-out of PowerChart Maternity, which provides full antenatal, inpatient and outpatient workflows integrated into the eMR.
It is mobile enabled so midwives visiting mothers and babies at home can view their records on their mobile devices.
