More than 300 eHealth positions across leadership, operations and IT are available to support implementation of the SDPR.
NSW eHealth has launched a recruitment program to support the implementation of the government’s single digital patient record.
More than 300 roles in leadership, operations and IT are available for those interested in supporting the delivery of the project over the coming years, with successful applicants to join the program from mid-2024, the announcement said.
The first round of the recruitment program will target positions in solution architecture, integration analysis, business intelligence, service management, and trainers, according to iT News.
In October 2023, NSW eHealth confirmed it had partnered with global health software provider Epic to deliver the government’s single digital patient over the next six years, with the platform scheduled to go live at Hunter New England LHD in 2025.
Despite Epic’s recent announcement that its generative AI feature was now fully embedded within its electronic health record, NSW Health told Health Services Daily it could not confirm whether the feature would be included in the state’s single digital patient record.
Currently, Cerner and Orion Health provide NSW Health’s EMR instances, Cerner and DXC provide its PAS instances, and Citadel (Auslab) and Integrated Software Solutions (OmniLab) provide its LIMS.
The six-year SPDR project is expected to deliver a single record and system to be used in 228 NSW public hospitals, 600 community health centres, 60 pathology labs, and 150-plus path collection centres.
