Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Use of Private Hospitals
Dr. Matthew Sadlier:
It needs to integrate into the other general hospitals. Patients may have other health problems that are potentially not related to their pregnancy or childbirth and they may attend a general hospital where information from the maternity system is not feeding back into the general hospital. The computerised system is good for one health journey the patient has had, but a life is full of multiple health journeys. The information technology system should follow us through that.
