PCMS Project
Latest News The PCMS Project is ramping up to support a new round of User Acceptance Testing in August. In the meantime, SWARH is assisting agencies to better utilise the TrakCare Clinical Information System. If you are interested in optimising the use of TrakCare Clinicals - give us a call on 55644000. If you have any queries about implementation at WDHS or SWH please contact your project leaders - Carolyn Gellert (WDHS) or Michelle Atkinson (SWH) SWARH Regional ICT Executive Committee are seeking to expand the scope of functionality provided to Hospital and Community Client Agencies within the current Vital PAS system, supplied and supported by InterSystems, the vendor. As such, a decision has been made to migrate from Vital PAS system to the TrakCare 2010 Foundation PAS system, also supplied and supported by InterSystems. The TrakCare 2010 system, once implemented, is expected to underpin improved levels of healthcare capability to patients in the region, with significant operational efficiency gains to be realised by participating Agencies. Additional functionality is to be included within the migration and shall incorporate modules of functionality for Patient Billing, Waiting Lists and Operating Theatre modules. TrakCare Community modules will also be implemented at the Community Agencies within the group, replacing several different decentralised systems with an enterprise solution sharing a common Patient Master Index across all Agencies using the TrakCare system. This centralised information-sharing design is intended to provide improvements to patient identification, and access to treatment records across multiple health providers, enabling improved levels of care based on the ability to gather a holistic view of patient treatment history across multiple disciplines and multiple Agency locations. The scope of this project involves implementing the system for use by two (2) Hospital and one (1) Community Agency. The project will be run as collaboration between the participating Agencies, SWARH, and InterSystems, with SWARH performing the role of Project Management and coordination across all parties.
