Franklin Hospital to deploy Orion Health’s EPR system

Franklin Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand has partnered with digital health technology company Orion Health to accelerate its digital transformation.

Set to go live in April 2025, Orion Health’s Electronic Patient Record (EPR) — covering a patient administration system (PAS) and a clinical workstation for the hospital team — will be built into Franklin Hospital with the project commencing in September 2024.

Nia Williams, Orion Health Sales Director, said: “Getting the right healthcare data in the right place at the right time for people, carers and providers requires a concerted and coordinated effort. But it can improve the health experience for all, by revealing insights from data, unifying healthcare silos seamlessly and securely.”

Franklin Hospital’s PAS will optimise all information relating to patient administration, surgical management, revenue cycle management and inventory management, significantly reducing the opportunity for errors and relieving administrative burden faced by many healthcare workers.

Dr Creasan Reddy, founder and CEO of Franklin Private Hospital, said: “Franklin Hospital specialises in endoscopy and surgical procedures. We serve more than 3200 patients each year. We provide high-skill, in-demand procedures that must be supported by detailed, reliable patient and procedure records.

“Having Orion Health’s PAS and clinical workstation on board will take the pressure off administrative tasks and allow us to focus on providing inclusive, world-class healthcare to our community,” said Reddy.
