WA Health is on an exciting
journey of transformation. Do you have the skills we need to be
part of the WA Electronic Medical Record Program
team?
Electronic Medical Record
(EMR) Program
EMR is a consumer-centred
program that supports healthcare providers to perform their roles
enabling safety and quality to be at the heart of care for every
consumer.
This Program has been
established to digitally transform WA Health’s clinical information
management systems by delivering a Statewide EMR solution for WA
Health. The EMR is identified in the WA Health Digital Strategy
2020-2030 as the digital keystone to modernising and improving
healthcare across Western Australia.
The EMR Program will
incorporate changes to technology, business processes and culture.
It will take advantage of innovations in digital health care to
improve patient safety and quality of care for the Western
Australian community regardless of their
location.
About the
role
We are looking for an
experienced and motivated Program Director - System Integration to
join our diverse and highly skilled team in contributing to the
health of all Western Australians.
This is a fixed term
appointment for 2 years, from the date of commencement with
the possibility of extension(s).
This position is responsible
for providing leadership of system integration across the EMR
Program, ensuring interoperability, safe dual‑running, and
coordinated delivery across Health Service Providers (HSPs), Health
Support Services (HSS) and vendors. The role leads a statewide
integration function that ensures technical, operational, and
clinical components align to an integrated EMR ecosystem. It also
provides leadership across all integration workstreams, ensuring
coordinated delivery, risk mitigation, and commercial governance,
while collaborating with the Clinical, Program Delivery and
Financial & Commercial Directors, HSP clinical leaders, technical
teams, and external vendors to ensure the solution meets agreed
specifications, delivers the planned benefits, and can scale for
future system‑wide requirements.
Note: This position will
initially be established with Health Support Services as the
employing authority; however, the position will report to the
Department of Health (DoH) EMR Program Leadership. In the future,
this position may undergo a review for re-establishment within the
DoH and be re-classified against the Public Sector Award at the
equivalent level.
