Objective 5: Improve Clinical Information Systems NHITB critical priorities
The published6 National Health IT Board (NHITB) critical priorities for 2016/17 are as follows:
Investment focus
Name of Initiative
Description
National Expectation of Midland Region/DHBs
Midland notes
Medication Management
electronic Prescribing and Administration
(ePA)
Implementation of hospital based ePA
Using the NZULM as the medicines data source and
integrated with:  ePharmacy  eMR
where implemented
All DHBs
While this is for individual DHB implementation, we are aware that some DHBs are working regionally on this project so would like to see activities outlined in the RSPs
ePA implementation in the Midland Region is dependent on ePA working as required with the NZULM, and a need to demonstrate the working integration between ePA, ePx and the Regional CWS. Taranaki DHB will be the lead implementation for the integrated solution prior to regional rollout. The current non-integrated state, and reliance on Regional CWS, means that regional implementation is unlikely in 2016/17.
Child Health
National Maternity Information System Platform
