The implementation of Cerner's electronic medications management (EMM) module at Concord Hospital in Sydney picked up the NSW Minister for Health's top award for innovation on Monday, heralding the beginning of the statewide roll-out of EMM in 28 major hospitals over the next few years.

Concord Hospital has been extensively trialling EMM in its aged care wards and began a hospital-wide roll-out in May, completing the project at the Concord Centre for Mental Health in August.
