Sunrise Electronic Medical Record

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:05): My question is to the Premier. Has the Premier been briefed in relation to any bungles in relation to the Sunrise patient system?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:05): I have received a very preliminary briefing just before coming into question time that there was an issue which has been reported. There will be a thorough investigation into this. At this stage, I am advised that there are no adverse clinical outcomes.

The Sunrise electronic patient management system is not used in all hospitals in South Australia; it is used in some. We are trying to ascertain the details with regard to the matter that the member raises and, of course, we take these situations extraordinarily seriously. I have every faith that SA Health will be able to conduct a full investigation, find out what has occurred and make sure that we minimise any adverse outcomes from this alleged error.
