Paper-Lite
Paper-Lite is an initiative involving the transition from written notes to electronic documentation for the majority of inpatient records.
For staff, it means anywhere, anytime access to hospital medical records via any authorised device (including laptops, iPads, tablets, or smartphones) using a secure online system.
The innovation enhances our capacity to make informed decisions about your care because clinical staff (nurses, doctors, allied health & support staff) will always have access to the most up-to-date information.
Paper-Lite was initiated by our Information Technology team with our doctors, nurses, allied health, support staff and the BMDH Project Team.
Why are we changing?
Our new Blacktown Hospital Clinical Services Building (CSB) will have electronic medical records only.
To ensure we have one integrated system in our hospital, existing wards and departments have now changed to electronic medical records.
You may see your nursing, medical and allied health teams using a variety of electronic devices on the ward.
COWs are our computers-on-wheels – you will see all staff members using these on the ward. You may also see staff on their own laptops, iPads, smartphones and tablets. Paper-Lite allows staff to use their own mobile device, securely connected to our hospital system.
Paper-Lite makes access to medical records mobile and accessible, so you can have a dietician on an iPad in the ward, a nurse on a COW in the patient room and a specialist in a consulting room in another suburb all looking at a patient’s records.
For more information, please speak to your healthcare team.
