GPs, pharmacists and community nurses in the Southern District Health Board catchment will have access to the HealthOne shared patient records system later this month, part of a South Island-wide roll-out of the system.

Almost 90 per cent of GPs covered by WellSouth PHO have signed up to HealthOne, which will give them access to some clinical information from Southern DHB hospitals such as discharge summaries from within their practice management system. Pharmacists can access it through their dispensing systems.
