New Cancer Hospital Chris O’Brien Lifehouse in Australia Goes Live with the MetaVision Clinical Information System

BRISBANE, Australia

iMDsoft announced that Chris O’Brien Lifehouse went live with the MetaVision clinical information system in their critical care and post anaesthesia recovery units. The MetaVision anaesthesia information management system is slated to go live in the near future.

Lifehouse, a world-class not-for-profit integrated cancer treatment centre in Sydney, opened its doors in November 2013. The hospital is among the first to go live with MetaVision 6, the latest version of iMDsoft’s CIS, which features a new user interface and advanced electronic medication management among its enhancements.

Designed to meet the unique needs of the critical care environment, MetaVision generates complete and accurate electronic medical records and includes advanced tools for clinical assessment, treatment and care planning. The system provides data continuity across departments, ensuring no information is missed in the handover process.

Using MetaVision, hospitals can comply with clinical guidelines for best practices such as the ANZCA endorsed guidelines and the National Safety and Quality Health Service standards, and streamline data collection and export for reporting requirements such as ANZICS. Lifehouse joins other leading organisations using MetaVision, including New South Wales Health, Queensland Health, ACT Health, Fiona Stanley Hospital and Sydney Adventist Hospital.

“The partnership between the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse and iMDsoft to implement the MetaVision clinical information system has been a great success. Our mission is to provide world leading, integrated care for cancer patients and MetaVision provides a flexible, user friendly system to support our staff in delivery of that care. The system is now live in the ICU and PARU, with Anaesthetics coming online in the near future. Our clinicians and patients benefit from continuity of information, availability of data for reporting and clinical research and a system that has been configured to meet the needs of our organisation,” said Professor Michael Boyer, Chief Clinical Officer, Chris O’Brien Lifehouse.

“We are proud to be a part of Lifehouse’s vision to provide uncompromising care to patients as they live with and recover from cancer,” said Lars-Oluf Nielsen, CEO of iMDsoft. ”As Lifehouse hospital continues to introduce innovations in patient treatment, together we can seek to accommodate new requirements for their intensive care and anaesthesia environments,” said Lars-Oluf Nielsen, CEO of iMDsoft.

MetaVision will be presented at CICM in Darwin, Friday 29^th to Sunday 31^st May.
