US laboratory information system vendor Sunquest has officially been named as the winner of the $68.5 million, 10-year contract to replace the 22-year-old Auslab system for Queensland Health.

First revealed by Pulse+IT last year, Sunquest was required to demonstrate a working prototype that would be interoperable with other Queensland Health clinical systems, including its Cerner integrated electronic medical record (ieMR) and its ageing patient administration system.
