Initiative
Build, configure and test the Acacia digital health system under the Core Clinical Systems Renewal Program.
Overview
The design phase for Acacia is complete, incorporating over 4,600 detailed functional design requirements.
Acacia has been deployed to over 5,000 clinical users providing access to patient data in one system.
A staged rollout of the system to Northern Territory hospitals continues throughout 2023 and 2024.
Benefits
Acacia will remove multiple aging legacy systems, provide digital health records across all NT Health services and facilitate improved client outcomes.
Acacia will provide comprehensive digital information to clinicians at point-of-care across the spectrum of NT Government health services. This will enable better clinical servicing and lower risks.
Acacia requires more than 100 new jobs over the life of the program. This necessitates extensive engagement of ICT professionals, working across multiple project streams and disciplines. Almost all engagements are through Territory enterprises with ICT professionals based in Darwin, providing significant value into the ICT industry, expanding local ICT capability and upskilling opportunities over the program.
