Practice for sale formiRAD: Project Information
IRAD was launched by SWSPHN in 2016 and a vendor was selected in 2017. Functionality of iRAD includes sharing clinical data between GP’s using MyHR as a data source, providing a view of the GP data to an acute setting. The project was first delivered at five sites in 2019. In 2020, more general and specialist practices joined the iRAD program, and in 2021 iRAD expanded to the Western NSW region of Dubbo with a concentration of six practices, a hospital, and an aged care facility. IRAD is continuing to expand its reach.
Current phase
iRAD is currently expanding to include:
- More locations and services within South Western Sydney and Western NSW
- Other geographical areas through collaborative partnerships with other PHNs
- Other healthcare sector services through partnerships with care organisations e.g. Residential Care, Allied Health
- Integrations to more clinical software applications
The future of iRAD
The ultimate vision is for an interoperable health IT ecosystem that strives to deliver better care to communities, lowering healthcare costs and leading us to value-based care.
Successive phases of the project are being planned for 2022 and 2023:
- iRAD expansion to more geographical regions outside of South Western Sydney that support coordinated patient care
- Connections to additional clinical software
- An iterative delivery towards a fully integrated interoperable solution that allows General Practice, local hospitals, specialists, allied health and other healthcare providers in the region to access relevant information at the time of healthcare delivery
- A common standard for data sharing and streaming all vital patient information from multiple sources into a single stream of accurate information
- Linking advanced analytics, risk scores and population health efforts to support disease management
