FIONA STANLEY HOSPITAL — MEDICAL RECORDS
SCANNING EQUIPMENT
495. Hon SAMANTHA ROWE to the minister representing the
Minister for Health:
I refer to the equipment for
scanning medical records at Fiona Stanley Hospital.
(1) What is the
total value of British Telecom's contract to provide information and
communications technology systems and equipment at Fiona Stanley Hospital?
(2) Does the
scanning equipment purchased for Fiona Stanley Hospital meet the Australian
standards for health records so that the scanned copy can be retained as a high-resolution
file and the originals discarded after several months?
(3) If no to (2),
does this mean additional money has been required for storage and archiving of
physical or paper medical records?
(4) Did the
contract with British Telecom specify the standard of scanning required; and,
if not, why not?
(5) What is the
estimated cost to replace the scanning equipment at Fiona Stanley Hospital and
bring it up to Australian standards?
