University of Adelaide uses Sunrise EMR for practical exams <\/p>\n
The University of Adelaide has started adopting the Sunrise EMR system for practical examinations of fifth-year medical students. <\/p>\n
The exam involves mock patient scenarios where students may be required to access made-up patient medical records. <\/p>\n
\"It is crucial for our students to train and be assessed in a manner that is consistent with clinical practice in the hospital setting,\" said Dr Sean Jolly, Senior Lecturer at the Adelaide Health Simulation. Sunrise EMR is the primary medical record system in all major public hospitals in metropolitan SA. <\/p>\n
\"Our increasing use of Sunrise EMR in our examinations and teaching activities to replace paper-based charts is an important step in the clinical readiness of our students,\" Dr Jolly added. <\/p>\n
Telstra Health unveils FHIR-native virtual care platform <\/p>\n
Telstra Health has introduced a new FHIR-based virtual care solution, Virtual Health Platform. <\/p>\n
Based on a media release, the solution provides a digital, automated, and streamlined process for creating remote healthcare delivery. It simplifies healthcare interoperability by doing away with translating data, \"significantly\" reducing implementation time. It is also scalable for all types of health services and customisable to support various use cases. <\/p>\n
As a cloud-first platform, it allows data to be stored and exchanged using FHIR within a clinical data repository. It offers a secure gateway for accessing patient information and clinical data in near real-time via the MyHealthAccess patient portal and the VirtualHealthPortal provider portal. It can also integrate with EMR, EHR, or other clinical systems. <\/p>\n
