When I was a medical student, my impression of Middlemore Hospital is one of innovation. It is the first out of the 3 metropolitan hospitals in Auckland to have a state-of-the-art integrated electronic discharge, laboratory and radiology system. It is also the first to have a monthly CEO forum - something unheard of in public hospitals in those days. The idea was only picked up by Auckland Hospital a few years ago.
Now comes Ko Awatea - "first light" in Maori. I have yet to explore the site. One can only hope it continues the innovative tradition of Middlemore - the advantage that it has over the big city hospital in Grafton.
