NSW Health Pathology will be introducing standardised, electronic reporting of pathology test results to GPs, medical specialists and other clinicians working outside the public health system across NSW.
This work is part of a statewide transformation program which will standardise NSW Health Pathology’s technologies, processes and workflows to help NSW Health improve service delivery and patient care.
This work is also part of NSW Health’s Single Digital Patient Record (SDPR) program which will provide a secure, holistic and integrated view of the care a patient receives across the NSW public health system.
By introducing standardised electronic reporting, NSW Health Pathology will enhance its provision of timely pathology results in a format which supports patient care and reduces reliance on paper-based systems and manual processes.
During the next three months, NSW Health Pathology is consulting with GPs, practice managers and other clinical partners to get feedback about the format and functionality which is valued in electronic pathology reporting, so a reporting solution can be developed which best meets your needs.
Face to face or virtual sessions
The NSW Health Pathology team will be contacting a range of GP practices in coming weeks, inviting you to take part in a short (15 to 30 minute) session either face to face or virtually. If you are interested in participating, please contact the team at NSWPATH-Fusion@health.nsw.gov.au
Short survey
If you’re not able to meet, you are invited to complete a short survey about pathology reporting to provide your feedback.
NSW Health Pathology really values your input.
