Australian hospitals where electronic medication management (eMM) systems have been implemented have indicated that eMM was the most complex system and process redesign project they had undertaken and so, we’d like to thank all the speakers, sponsors and attendees who helped make the 2015 eMM conference in Sydney such a success by sharing their experiences and learnings.
eMM system implementation affects almost all the hospital’s clinical staff and many aspects of the hospital’s business and the 2015 conference shared the challenges, solutions and success stories of various eMM journeys and roadmaps across Australia and included case studies from Canada, New Zealand and Saudi Arabia.

- 150 + attendees
- 33 + expert speakers from Australia and abroad
- 20 + LHDs
- 3 + workshops
- Unique networking opportunities
