Overview

The Clinical System project has been established to deliver a highly functional and robust clinical system to Victorian public health agencies and rural alliances to enable them to improve the quality, safety and efficiency of their patient care.

The Clinical System project employs a common system design foundation for all implementations. This version of the Cerner Millennium software is referred to as the Victorian state build. The Victorian state build is the product of extensive health sector consultation and system tailoring to meet Victorian clinical practice and workflow requirements.

Development of the Victorian state build has been an iterative process of delivering system capability in functional groups. The cumulative functionality currently available for agency implementation is Release 2 as summarised in the graphic below.

HealthSMART applications including the Clinical System are hosted by the HealthSMART Shared Services (HSS) organisation. With more that 120 staff operating from multiple data centres, HSS provides application management and support services to 39 Victorian public health agencies.
