SPI Digital Health: Western Australia and Tasmania Begin their State-Wide EMR Journeys

Following in the footsteps of other Australian states, Tasmania and Western Australia (WA) recently provided details of their plans to implement state-wide electronic medical records (EMRs) for the first time. 

Earlier this month, the WA government said an A$100M (US$65M), first phase state-wide hospital EMR rollout would include a digital medical record with single sign-on technology and virtual desktop infrastructure at around 80 public hospitals.
