First digital hospital

Australia's first fully integrated digital hospital officially opened Monday
at Hervey Bay and is the first local hospital to computerise
everything from diet to dialysis and integrate its operations,
equipment and services.

It includes more than 300km of fibre-optic cable.

Machines fed data into patients’ records directly when they underwent
a test. Food was ordered and managed electronically, and medication
dispensed in a paperless environment.

Patients were electronically logged when they changed areas and no
longer do the Doctors need chase the (patient) chart any more.

The hospital had Wi-Fi throughout, with patient access and free internet.
Patients could bring their own 'tablet' device to hospital.
