Cherbourg residents will be able to gain a greater insight into the performance of the local hospital with the addition of Cherbourg Hospital to Queensland Health\u2019s Hospital Performance website.<\/p>\n

Information published for Cherbourg Hospital will include general information including the number of staff employed, beds and services.<\/p>\n

It will also detail the number of admissions, outpatient services, and waiting times and attendance numbers at Emergency Departments.<\/p>\n

Health Minister Lawrence Springborg said the government\u2019s commitment to transparent performance reporting was demonstrated by the continuing rollout of technology which allowed hospitals to report their performance data.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to rollout the Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) to regional and rural facilities throughout the year,\u201d Mr Springborg said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEDIS allows health services to electronically record details of patients who present requiring emergency care.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the end of this year, a total of 57 Queensland Hospitals will be reporting their performance and activity on line, an increase of 24 since the change of government.”<\/p>\n
