Have Some Questions About Fiona Stanley Hospital? Maybe These Might Answer Them For You

How big is Fiona Stanley Hospital?

The $2 billion Fiona Stanley Hospital is the biggest health infrastructure project ever undertaken by the State Government. To give you an idea of the size of the project, the hospital includes 6,300 rooms, 4,400 timber doors, 36,000 light fittings, 50,000 power outlets and 1,000 kilometres of power and lighting cabling.

When will construction of Fiona Stanley Hospital be completed?

Practical completion of Fiona Stanley Hospital took place on 6 December 2013, and the hospital will begin opening in October 2014.

Why has the opening of Fiona Stanley Hospital been rescheduled?

Fiona Stanley Hospital is the most complex public tertiary health facility to be commissioned in WA Health’s history, and the most complex in Australia. Opening a new tertiary hospital on the scale of FSH is a significant task that involves extensive testing of systems and processes at every operational level. As with all projects of this size and complexity, challenges need to be overcome and solutions tested.

Addressing challenges with the information and communications technology (ICT) will be one of the main priorities over the coming months. The October 2014 start date gives us sufficient time to test, trial and bed down all systems and processes to ensure that we deliver the highest quality patient care when Fiona Stanley Hospital opens its doors for patients.

What are the Information and Communication Technology issues?

Fiona Stanley Hospital will be one of the most technologically advanced hospitals in Australia and an unprecedented level of work is going into its digital and information technology systems. The hospital will integrate a suite of 48 core systems into one hospital. On top of this there are a significant number of smaller clinical applications. It also needs to interface with the Facilities Manager, Serco, as well as connecting to the State-wide system that the rest of WA Health uses. This involves everything for the clinical, administrative and infrastructure systems - including patient records and medication management, as well as delivering new levels of patient care and convenience.

This state-of-the-art technology will be delivered into every level of the building – requiring 48 km of communications cabling across five main buildings, covering 150,000 square metres.

As patient safety is WA Health’s main priority, WA Health wants to take the time to ensure that every service is thoroughly tested, trialled and bedded down to ensure that we deliver the highest quality of patient care when FSH opens its doors. WA Health is confident that FSH will have a state-of-the-art ICT system when it opens in October 2014.

What is being done to resolve the issues?

A strong team of people dedicated to this project is in place to overcome any issues or challenges prior to opening. The staged opening of Fiona Stanley Hospital over six months will enable us to continue a rigorous testing process right up until the last service comes into operation.

How does the technology at Fiona Stanley Hospital differ from other hospitals?

Fiona Stanley Hospital will be one of the most technologically advanced hospitals in Australia. It will use state-of-the-art technology to deliver new levels of patient care and convenience – from streamlining admission, discharge, bookings and record-keeping to providing video links for doctors and patients – right down to bedside entertainment systems. 

For doctors and nurses, that means everything they need to know about a patient can be called up bedside on a single screen - patient records, x-rays, scans, medication management and other vital medical information right at their fingertips. For patients, that screen delivers television, movies and the internet to their bed – as well as giving them the ability to make video calls to family and friends outside the hospital.

The same system will streamline hospital administration to reduce duplication and provide greater convenience for patients and staff. This is technology that is already in operation at Albany Health Campus, which is the first of the new generation of WA hospitals, and was opened in May 2013.

How do we know the systems will work when the hospital is opened?

WA Health is making information and communications technology (ICT) at Fiona Stanley Hospital its absolute priority over the coming months. To this end, an ICT test lab will be set up in a training ward on the site. This will enable us to test all of the services and programs required at Fiona Stanley Hospital with WA Health staff in a real-life clinical environment.  

The Facilities Manager, Serco, has been invited to participate in the ICT lab to test their systems and ensure they integrate with FSH. Every ICT component will be tested, trialed, bedded down, and adjustments made if necessary. We are confident that FSH will have a state-of-the-art ICT system when it opens in October 2014.

What happens if I don’t know how to use all of the technology at Fiona Stanley Hospital?

Staff and volunteers will be available to help patients and visitors with the technology at Fiona Stanley Hospital, such as assisting with the Way-finder navigation system and Patient Entertainment Systems.

Being a paper-light hospital, what happens if the servers go down?

Like most professional, large organisations, there will be full business continuity and disaster recovery plans that will be enacted in the case of any such interruptions.

Will this delay impact on other health infrastructure projects?

Absolutely not.

What parts of the hospital will be opened first? And last? 

Please view our Opening Schedule for details about our hospital’s phased opening sequence.

When will the hospital be fully operational? 

April 2015.

Is this delay anything to do with the Serco contract, or its operations? 

No, not at all. The Facilities Manager, Serco and the State are working closely together to bring Fiona Stanley Hospital online. The relationship, and the contract, is very strong.

How will the relationship between Serco and the government operate? Who will be the boss?

Fiona Stanley Hospital is owned by the State, with the WA State Government responsible for the provision of all clinical services to the public. Serco has been contracted by the WA Government to deliver non-clinical services within Fiona Stanley Hospital. WA Health and Serco Australia will be working together under strict performance guidelines to ensure the highest quality patient care.

Heres the History of Fiona Staley Hospital, Some Interesting Reading | Fiona Stanley Hospital Flowers Florist

Heres the History of the Fiona Stanley Hospital

History

Named after eminent Western Australian doctor and Australian of the Year, Professor Fiona Stanley, the development of Fiona Stanley Hospital commenced as a result of the 2004 Reid Report (PDF 2MB), which set out a clear direction for the Western Australian public health system for the next decade and beyond.

The site

The 32-hectare site in Murdoch was chosen for its proximity to Perth’s growing south metropolitan population and nearby health and learning institutes.
On 26 August 2007 a clearing permit for the site was issued by the Department of Environment and Conservation. Then, on 7 July 2008, the Federal Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts granted approval for the project under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

Consultation

Developed in close consultation with clinicians and the community, Fiona Stanley Hospital’s team of architects and health planners worked with an extensive range of people – including medical, nursing, allied health and other healthcare staff, private, non-government and research organisations, patients and members of the public – to design Western Australia’s new tertiary hospital. The result was a design based on national and international research and principles of environmental sustainability, good accessibility and a healing health care environment.
Between 2008 and 2010 clinical and community groups also viewed prototype patient and consulting rooms. The feedback which they provided was used to assist the design team in the development of the hospital. A Community Reference Group was formed in 2009 and met quarterly to discuss and provide advice on various elements of the hospital’s design.

Conservation and the environment

In March 2009 the Stage One contract was awarded. Construction commenced on-site on 23 September 2009 after an extensive environmental program was undertaken, which saw more than 300 grass trees and zamias removed from the site to be replanted within the operational hospital grounds.
Native plants which are difficult to grow from seeds, including orchids and other plants, were also recovered from the site to be replanted at Fiona Stanley Hospital and nearby conservation areas at a later date.
Sixty-one Quendas (southern brown bandicoots) were transferred to the Department of Environment and Conservation for relocation to Julimar Conservation Park. In addition, more than 4500 reptiles and amphibians, including frogs, snakes and lizards, were successfully relocated to Beeliar Regional Park.

In November 2010, Fiona Stanley Hospital was the winner of the WA Environment Award in the Government Leading by Example category.
