The 307-bed public hospital and the 60-bed private hospital are on the same campus. Telstra says successful implementation of the EMR ensure that the hospitals digital health solutions match the state of the art facilities and staff.

“We know the importance of integration and interoperability in the success of eHealth solutions. Patient’s clinical data at the St John of God Midland Public and Private Hospitals will integrate seamlessly with the hospital’s Patient Administration System, the national myHealth Record system, and eventually the Western Australia Health Department, helping build a more connected health system and improve productivity and clinical care,” said Russel Duncan, Managing Director of Telstra Health’s Emerging Systems.
