Abstract

St Stephen's Hospital in Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia, is a new 96 bed state of the art digital hospital that opened on a greenfield site on 13 October 2014. The eHealth project was responsible for providing a fully integrated electronic medical record. The authors explore the unique challenges presented by the project and the solutions deployed. Key components related to the success of the project are identified. The results of the intense two and half year project timeline culminated in a successful go-live and certification as the first hospital in Australia to achieve Stage 6 HIMSS designation.
