The transition from paper-based to electronic patient records (EPR) is critical in modernising healthcare systems. A recent study in Cureus explored how a UK hospital successfully adapted its existing software to create a cost-effective, clinician-friendly EPR system. The findings offer valuable insights for hospitals worldwide, including those in Australia and New Zealand, where digital transformation remains a priority.

They cover engaging clinicians and key administrators on the pathway to success. If you are trying to change hearts and minds towards better clinical governance – no matter where or what country you are in – this webinar is for you.

Unleashing the Potential of our Health Workforce, led by Professor Mark Cormack, looked at the available evidence about health professionals’ ability to deliver on their full scope of practice in primary care. The review identified opportunities to remove the barriers stopping health professionals from working to their full scope of practice. It also drew on examples of multi-disciplinary teams where members are working to their full scope of practice to deliver best-practice primary care. Here, Mark presented some barriers and opportunities for health professionals to work at their full scope of practice.
