SONIA’S SEA

CHANGE This week we said farewell to fundraiser extraordinaire Sonia

Daniels who is leaving us for sunny Queensland. Sonia has made

an outstanding contribution to our hospitals' fundraising activities

and events, helped establish the Better Foundation with our local

Council and partners, and delivered more cakes than we can

count. Thank you for everything you did for us!

For once she got to keep the goodies she was given, including

some suitably tropical flowers. Her

B2Hub colleagues chipped in for

permanent reminder of her time at

Blacktown - a pendant with a bee

(for the B2Hub), an S (for Sonia of

course) and a palm tree (for

Queensland). Good luck with your

Queensland adventure and we

hope it is all you could wish for -

beautiful one day, perfect the next!

GM Sue-Anne with Sonia and ESO

Michelle at the B2Hub farewell Sonia bagged some goodies!

SurgiNet Update

Surgical eMR Update for Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals | Dec 2018

SurgiNet is coming to Blacktown and Mount Druitt Blacktown and Mount Druitt hospitals

will introduce a new integrated

electronic medical record module called

SurgiNet in 2019.

SurgiNet is an innovative approach to

enhancing the patient-centred surgical

care at BMDH Perioperative Services.

The project involves effective planning

and redesign of service delivery to

enhance patient safety and quality of

services.

Patient services will be rescheduled to

ensure there is no impact on patient

safety.

What you need to know

SurgiNet will replace paper charts which

are currently used to manage, track and

schedule functions for operating

theatres. SurgiNet is part of eMR

PowerChart and will enable perioperative

staff to document and share information

across all areas of surgery.

This will help streamline surgical

workflows and integrate patient and

procedure information including:

Complex surgical procedure

scheduling (supported by Enterprise

Scheduling Management) for

operating theatres

Patient case documentation for pre-

operative, intra-operative and post-

operative functions including the Post

Anaesthetic Care Unit

Patient status and location tracking

throughout the surgical process

Supply and configuration of clinical

equipment for operating theatres

based on surgeon, procedure,

specialty and site-specific preference

cards.

Benefits for staff

A single source of clinical information

that is secure and current.

Integrated clinical workflow and

documentation for all areas of surgery

Scheduling visibility across Blacktown

and Mount Druitt.

New initiatives for pre-admission

As part of the changes, the patient

journey and eMR records commence in

Pre-Admission Clinic (PAC) allowing

greater visibility to the patient pre-

operative care plan.

Benefits for patients

Surgical procedure information will be

integrated into a single medical record

which supports patient pre- and post-

surgical care, anaesthesia and

medications management, and transfer

and discharge information.

Who is affected?

SurgiNet will be primarily used by the

perioperative team (especially anaethesia

and the anaesthetic record), surgical

nurses, clinical nurse consultants, nurses

and administrative staff in medical

imaging.

However, other nursing, allied health and

clinical administration staff may also view

information within the system.

Training

An extensive training program will be

implemented to ensure staff receive

information and support before, during

and following implementation of the new

system.
