Electronic health records

Princess Alexandra Hospital is the exemplar site for the implementation of the shared integrated electronic medical record solution for Queensland.[3] It has established a patient administration system at all its hospitals and replaced the Auslab state-wide pathology system. Princess Alexandra Hospital was the first to be fully digitised. Observations and vital signs from patient monitoring devices are automatically uploaded to patient records.[4]
