The EMR Phase 2.1 Go-Live will commence this Sunday at the Williamstown Hospital Emergency Department, in what is a very exciting time for Western Health. A huge thank you to everyone involved in reaching this important milestone.
This two-minute video highlights the Go-Live support available for staff, as well as some of the important benefits that the new EMR functionality will bring.
A reminder that the full EMR Phase 2.1 Go-Live schedule is available on the Digital Health information site. Please familiarise yourself with this schedule and do not proceed to use the EMR until the Go-Live for your area and until you have completed training.
If you have not completed training, please see your line manager.
Continue to practice and prepare
A sincere thank you to the thousands of staff who have completed their training in recent weeks and months. It’s very heartening to see our teams getting ready for this exciting implementation.
Please continue to practice what you have learned as much as you can prior to Go-Live. Login details for the EMR Practice Environment can be obtained from your area’s Super User or from your Divisional Director.
A reminder that the WeLearn lessons will always be available if you wish to refresh your knowledge prior to Go-Live or beyond.
Thanks to everyone across the organisation who has played a part in getting us ready for this Go-Live. It has been a huge team effort to bring something so significant and transformational together.
Throughout the Go-Live our EMR Super User team will be out on the floor supporting staff and our hospitals will be a hive of activity, so keep an eye on the Digital Health information site for Go-Live photos and updates. At the conclusion of the EMR Phase 2 project, Western Health will have one of the largest EMR footprints in Australia and we will have the base to become a truly innovative healthcare leader with the ability to make further significant advancements in the provision of Best Care for our community.
