Townsville Hospital has reinstalled the WinChart anaesthetic solution from Getz Clinical on the insistence of its anaesthetists, who campaigned for several years to keep the solution rather than swap to the anaesthesia module in the state's integrated electronic medical record (ieMR).
WinChart has been used for many years in Queensland, first rolling out at Cairns Hospital in 2008 as part of the Automated Anaesthetic Record Keeping (AARK) program before being implemented at the majority of the tertiary hospitals in the state.
