Patient-centric implementation of an electronic medication management system at a tertiary hospital in Western Sydney.

Background: Traditional implementations of electronic medication management (EMM) systems have involved two common formats - a 'big bang' approach on the day of go-live, or a phased ward-by-ward approach over months.

Objective: To describe the patient-centric roll-out, a novel implementation model in converting from paper to EMM.

Method: This model iteratively converted a large tertiary teaching hospital to electronic from paper medication charts, commencing the roll-out in the emergency department (ED).

Natural Language Search Interfaces: Health Data Needs Single-Field Variable Search.

Background: Data discovery, particularly the discovery of key variables and their inter-relationships, is key to secondary data analysis, and in-turn, the evolving field of data science. Interface designers have presumed that their users are domain experts, and so they have provided complex interfaces to support these "experts." Such interfaces hark back to a time when searches needed to be accurate first time as there was a high computational cost associated with each search.
