The Health Provider Portal permits General Practitioners to access The Viewer. The Viewer allows General Practitioners access to summary details of patient’s treatment, investigations and care at any Queensland Health facility statewide. What’s new for General Practitioners? This update covers the following enhancements: Joint enhancement – SurgiNet changes for EDS & The Viewer Winscribe Text integration update Healthcare Facility details

Joint enhancement – SurgiNet changes for EDS & The Viewer There was a possible risk identified with the display of SurgiNet theatre episodes and surgical procedures information in EDS and The Viewer. When ‘planned’ and ‘actual’ procedures are different the information in EDS and The Viewer could be misleading, unless SurgiNet is updated at the completion of the theatre episode. To alleviate patient safety concerns, EDS and The Viewer will now display the time and place a surgical procedure took place, with no additional details listed.

Note: this will not impact all digital hospitals, some hospitals already have processes in place for staff to update SurgiNet with ‘actual’ procedures at completion.
