Episode Notes

In this NousCast special we are talking about digital health, and how a group of hospitals in Melbourne came together to establish a united electronic medical record (EMR).

The group of hospitals are known as the Parkville Precinct. Their combined efforts to establish an EMR are helping to improve health outcomes for patients and making life a whole lot easier for clinicians. 

In this episode we hear from three people involved: 

• Professor Shelley Dolan is CEO at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and was previously CEO of the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
• Associate Professor Daryl Cheng is a consultant paediatrician and clinical informatician at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital.
• Dr Paul Eleftheriou is a Nous Group Principal who was a key part of the Nous team supporting the project and previously Chief Medical Officer at Melbourne’s Western Health.
