The $1 billion Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia is spending $50 million on IT, according to an article on the IT News website. The facility will combine research, treatment, care and education services from 10 organizations in one building.
The $50 million will cover, cabling, patient and nursing systems and servers.
The centre wants to improve the patient experience through the use of digital healthcare technologies - starting from the moment a patient walks through the door, the article said.
For instance, patient letters will come equipped with barcodes that patients can scan at the hospital to print out a map of where they need to go, and will also check them into the system and automatically notify the correct area that the patient has arrived.
