Latrobe Regional Hospital in Victoria's Gippsland has gone live with Allscript's Sunrise electronic medical record in its 30-bed emergency department, with a roll-out in inpatient wards and outpatients scheduled for early next year.
In what is thought to be the first implementation of an EMR hosted in Microsoft's Azure cloud computing platform in Australia, the ED roll-out is the first phase in a wider project by the Gippsland Health Alliance, which awarded Allscripts a tender for an EMR and community health solution in 2017.
