The electronic medical records system at Blacktown Hospital is transforming the way staff manage patient care.

Paper-Lite - the name given by the Western Sydney Local Health District to the implementation of its state-of-the-art medical records system – holds the medical records of all new patients, while existing and past patient records are in the process of being digitised.

By moving away from paper records, Blacktown Hospital staff can quickly, easily and securely access patient records.

Blacktown Hospital is the site of a massive health infrastructure project. A five-storey Clinical Services Building is the centrepiece of the $322 million, Stage 1 redevelopment of Blacktown Mount Druitt Hospital.
