An assessment of the roll-out of the Enterprise Patient Administration System (EPAS) at Adelaide's The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (TQEH) in the coming months will provide guidance on whether the patient administration element of EPAS is ready to be installed at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital in November, or whether a contingency plan will be required using the existing system, the SA Auditor-General has reported.

South Australia's Auditor-General Andrew Richardson this week tabled a supplementary report on the EPAS system, which went live at TQEH last Wednesday. The roll-out of the system has been followed closely by the Auditor-General's department, with a similar report tabled at this time last year.
