In South Australia , the EPAS transformation is the largest ITenabled project that the state has undertaken , according to SA Health Executive Director of eHealth and CIO Bill Le Blanc : “ It ’ s basically leaping the industry forward by about 40 years ; health is where manufacturing used to be back in the 1960s . It ’ s one of the last industries that has held out in terms of its usage of technology ,” he says .
For Allscripts , which has rolled out EPAS systems globally , working with SA Health gives it a major footprint in Australia - which it is looking to grow . Allscripts Managing Director of Asia Pacific , David Chambers , said “ I am really excited about what our technology is able to bring to hospitals and clinics - and in turn for the general public who utilise their services .
