Rachel works as the Digital Health Lead within SJH. The Digital Health team includes the EPR product team, clinical application product managers and clinical informatics teams.
Their overarching mandate is to work with colleagues throughout the hospital to use technology to improve processes to support patient care. Achievements include the successful digitisation of inpatient care and ongoing optimisation. The team is currently replacing the PAS system with an integrated PAS/EPR system along with introduction of an Integration Engine as key enablers for future plans. Looking to the future and using the HIMSS assessment as a roadmap, priorities include further outpatient digitisation, surgical digitisation and patient portal access to records.
