The implementation of the next release of the integrated electronic medical record (ieMR) at Cairns Hospital has been delayed until early next year but the plan to go live at Princess Alexandra Hospital (PAH) in November is on track, Queensland Health says.
A well-placed source at Queensland Health told Pulse+IT this week that the implementation at the 780-bed PAH was still in its design phase and testing had yet to be committed to, but Health Services Information Agency (HSIA) chief technology officer Colin McCririck denied this, saying PAH was on track to be the first large scale hospital to go digital as scheduled.
