Sunrise in SA health
December 15, 2011
SA HEALTH will replace its
unconnected information systems
and databases across its
network of metropolitan and rural
hospitals with Allscripts’ Sunrise
Enterprise.
The Sunrise system, including a
fully integrated acute care
Electronic Health Record, will
provide the project’s central hub,
called the Enterprise Patient
Administration System (EPAS).
Welcoming the announcement
the incoming Federal Health
Minister Tanya Plibersek said
“[EPAS] will deliver real time medical
information about emergency
patients, monitor the progress of
patients in hospitals and alert staff
when waiting times exceed targets”.
“EPAS will connect our hospitals
to the national eHealth records
system, so vital information can
be safely accessed, no matter
where in Australia the patient is
from,” she added.
