Hills Health welcomes former NSW Health digital director
Andrew Pedrazzini OAM is the new chief digital officer at hospital and aged care technology provider Hills Health.
He will also serve as the company’s executive director of Strategy, Products and Partners.
Pedrazzini played a key role in the digital transformation of NSW Health; he held positions as director of ICT Service Commissioning, Infrastructure Office, and Health Grade Enterprise Network Transformation.

Grace Health chooses Workday for HR enhancement
Dr. Mercy Health has selected Workday’s cloud-based human capital management platform to modernize its people management.
The Catholic organization, which employs about 10,000 workers, is transitioning from a legacy recruiting system to a new recruitment and people management solution to “stand out in the competitive health landscape.”
Workday’s platform utilizes AI and machine learning to provide a “seamless” candidate experience, from application to hire. It also has mobile capabilities that support and engage employees wherever they are.
“The easier we can make processes like HR and people management, the more time they can dedicate to community care,” said Jo-Anne Ruhl, VP and managing director of Workday ANZ.
NSW e-referral solution live in 2 Sydney health districts
eHealth NSW’s digital referral solution has gone live across South Eastern Sydney Local Health District and Western Sydney Local Health District.
The Engage Outpatients solution digitally streamlines the sharing of referral information. It allows GPs and other healthcare referrers to send standardized e-referral forms from their practice management software to facilities using the system, as well as submit them to the electronic referral management system (eRMS).
SESLHD and WSLHD have also integrated the eRMS with their EMR, enabling the automatic sharing of a patient’s referral documents in preparation for their outpatient visit.
eHealth NSW will continue rolling out the Engage Outpatients service to remaining LHDs next year.
