The EMR is used to document and manage patient care.
BOSSnet is used for scanned medical records ie forms that require a signature, the storage of historical medical records.
Western Health has commenced investigation into the possible installation of privacy screens on devices. A decision on this has not been made as yet.
The order for the Bacchus Marsh Melton devices was placed some months ago. Privacy screens were not included in the order.
If a decision is made to install privacy screens then these will be ordered separately and a team of staff will be trained to install the screens across Western Health.
To protect sensitive information from being displayed on unattended devices, screensavers now activate on Western Health computers after a period of 5 minutes of inactivity, reduced from the previous 10 minutes of inactivity.
Staff are encouraged to please remember, before walking away from a workstation or moving a workstation on wheels / laptop on wheels, to lock the device or log off from the device.
Yes, this will Go-Live at the same time as the Bacchus Marsh and Melton sites
Yes. BMM has an extensive community program which requires access to the EMR whilst out of the office.
This will be available from a laptop with a 4G/5G sim card, which will be provided to staff to connect to the EMR while working in the community.
As announced, by Chief Operating Officer, John Ferraro, a staged Go-Live will start on Tuesday, 26 November 2024, with Bacchus Marsh and Melton Urgent Care, Medical Surgical Unit, Maternity, Theatre and the Medical Day Unit. The following week, from Monday, 2 December 2024, Specialist Clinic Outpatients, Non-Specialist Clinic Outpatients and Community (including Caroline Springs) will transition.
