Orion Health will outline its work with state and territory health
departments, including its efforts to connect hospital systems to the
national PCEHR infrastructure, at the Health Informatics Conference,
being held in Sydney from July 30.
Orion Health, a member of the National Infrastructure Partner consortium
that built the PCEHR infrastructure, is currently working with ACT
Health on developing the capability to send electronic discharge
summaries to the national records system.
Orion Health’s Solutions Director for Australia, Kelsey Grant, said an
ACT Health representative will be available on Orion Health's stand to
provide details on the territory's progress towards connecting to the
PCEHR.
"ACT Health are quite advanced and are already doing electronic
discharge summaries,” Mr Grant said. "They have been working on
Individual Healthcare Identifiers for quite some time so they have a lot
of the groundwork already laid. What the work is about now is doing the
translation and to generate CDA documents and send out discharge
summaries to the national PCEHR infrastructure.”
