Digital health & innovation

The planned workflow connects registration and PNG IITT triage with clinical review, investigations, procedures and disposition. Patient tracking, imaging integration and AI capability are part of the development direction. A trauma registry is proposed within HealthLink to support trauma data capture, service evaluation and research.

This page describes the project; it does not provide access to patient records.

DutyLink is moving towards a web-based staff interface, with voice communication and a local hospital server as parts of its planned architecture.

The focus is on duty rosters, contact routing and escalation. Operational access will be provided through approved departmental channels.

ELDEV will provide the shared platform for our staff, resident and community learning programs.

REACT is intended to connect clinical updates from HealthLink with roster and contact information from DutyLink, helping route alerts to the appropriate team and track the response through to completion.

The planned referral workflow covers submission, acceptance or redirection, transport, arrival and closure. Acknowledging an alert and accepting responsibility are recorded separately.

Development will begin with lightweight local capability, support for intermittent connectivity and auditable rules-based escalation. AI assistance will be introduced over time to help structure referrals, check missing information and draft handovers, with responsibility remaining with authorised staff.

REACT remains at the concept and architecture stage; these integrations and capabilities are planned.

The assessment will help identify workflow needs, infrastructure gaps, staff readiness and priorities for implementation.

The intended approach starts with the emergency department and uses the findings to inform a roadmap for wider hospital digitisation.
