Abstract
This paper addresses the use of information management systems and IT capability to design and manage a university student teaching clinic in the Western suburbs of Melbourne. The clinic technology team had three main briefs, to support student learning and professional development, to provide quality health care to the community and to develop systems and platforms that facilitate the ability of the clinic to meet National Safety and Quality Health Standards (NSQHS). This paper highlights the role of health information systems in delivering on a clinic capable of these goals.
