OUTCOMES SO FAR • Reduce medical records clerical costs by 50% • Reduce time to move current medical records between sites by 100% • Reduce incidence of lost records to 0% • Reduce clinical access times for current medical record information by 100% • Improved time to provide test results for viewing in medical record by 95%

  7. MAJOR RISKS TO BE MANAGED • Organisational preparedness • User acceptance of scanned medical record system • Confidentiality and security of the system

  8. MAJOR RISKS TO BE MANAGED • Vendor capability and capacity to deliver CPF solution • Capability of IT to meet business requirements • Interface of scanned medical record with paper medical record
