The two separate comprehensive practice management systems incorporating all patient information were consolidated into one, becoming accessible from both sites.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The electronic systems were successfully integrated between the two sites in October 2017. Electronic chemotherapy prescribing at the Griffith site is now guided by inbuilt, pharmacist\u2010reviewed protocols thereby improving the safety and flexibility of remote prescribing. The centralised electronic health record has improved streamlined care during patient transitions between the two hospitals with enhanced continuity of documentation and management. Increases in total clinic patients and appointment numbers are demonstrable since implementation, and sustained during the COVID\u201019 pandemic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The present study provides a novel example of the successful implementation of a centralised electronic healthcare record and chemotherapy prescribing system in a haematology setting shared between a metropolitan service and a rural outreach hospital clinic. This has positive implications for the safety and efficiency of healthcare delivery at the rural site applicable to all linked rural Australian clinics, as well as allowing data collection to assist future planning of the service.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/imj.14973","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,16]],"date-time":"2020-07-16T15:56:40Z","timestamp":1594915000000},"page":"1869-1875","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Integrated electronic health record facilitates a safer and more efficient rural outreach haematology service"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3595-4256","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helen","family":"Cashman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney Australia"},{"name":"UNSW Sydney  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eleni","family":"Mayson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney Australia"},{"name":"UNSW Sydney  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Kliman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Janet","family":"Kesby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Bell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Murrumbidgee Local Health District, Wagga Wagga  New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sue","family":"Vachalec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Barbara","family":"Withers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Orly","family":"Lavee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sam","family":"Milliken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney Australia"},{"name":"UNSW Sydney  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Moore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney Australia"},{"name":"UNSW Sydney  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7929-1450","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nada","family":"Hamad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney Australia"},{"name":"UNSW Sydney  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","first-page":"13","article-title":"Reduction in chemotherapy order errors with computerised physician order entry and clinical decision support systems","volume":"44","author":"Aziz MT","year":"2015","journal-title":"Health Inf Manage J"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/qshc.2005.016808"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","volume-title":"Cancer Survival in Australia 1992\u20131997: Geographic Categories and Socioeconomic Status","author":"Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW)","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","unstructured":"The Australian Cancer Council and Clinical Oncological Society of Australia.Bringing Multidisciplinary Cancer Care to Regional Australia: Requirements for a Regional Cancer Centre of Excellence.2009[cited 2019 Apr].
