Several major eHealth NSW IT projects are running behind schedule, including the statewide roll-out of the MetaVision ICU system, Cerner's Community Health and Outpatient Care (CHOC) EMR extension and the new incident management and rostering systems, but in many cases the estimated benefits have been revised upwards.
Acting auditor-general Tony Whitfield tabled a financial audit of NSW Health today that shows that of the nine major IT projects worth more than $20m that eHealth NSW is currently managing, six are running behind the original timeframes but all seem to be within budget.
