Sunrise Electronic Medical Record

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:07): My question is to the Premier. Premier, has the use of the Sunrise EMR been halted following the revelation of an error affecting medication doses?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education) (14:08): I thank the member for the question. As I understand it, as soon as SA Health became aware of the intermittent issue, all sites using the Sunrise system were notified and implemented risk mitigation strategies or business continuity plans. Additional prescription reviews by medical officers, nursing, midwifery and pharmacists are in place while the investigation takes place into the root cause of the intermittent issue. An additional alert has been added to the medication ordering screen and, as the Premier advised earlier, we are not aware of any adverse clinical outcomes at this time.
