NSW Health has been on a transformational journey to modernise and streamline its technology systems. The NSW Ministry of Health has a role of ‘system manager’ to the NSW public health system. More than 228 hospitals across New South Wales, faced fragmented data, inefficiencies in patient flow and care coordination, thus requiring a platform where data from numerous sources could be curated and consolidated in real time.
Creating a state-wide Operational Data Store (ODS) supported a platform that provides visibility across a patient’s journey in an environment with multiple Patient Administration Systems and electronic medical records. This ODS was made viable by transitioning NSW Health’s legacy infrastructure to Microsoft Azure, allowing the department to leverage the scalability, security and advanced analytics capabilities offered by the cloud.
“The shift to the cloud has been crucial in addressing key pain points, including enhanced resource allocation, improved patient care coordination and a reduction in the reliance on manual, paper-based processes,” said Pedram Bidhendi, Director of System Performance Support at NSW Health.
Today, the ODS serves as a real-time operational and analytics platform. The store integrates data from numerous sources across the health system to support a seamless flow of information. By realising its ODS vision and working with Microsoft technologies, NSW Health has modernised its operations and set the stage for ongoing innovation in healthcare delivery. This progress will ensure better outcomes for patients across the state.
The latest Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) report shows NSW is the best performing jurisdiction for emergency department patients seen on time (74%) and patients receiving planned surgery within clinically recommended timeframes (85.3%). NSW continues to deliver safe, high-quality care.
