Enterprise Chemotherapy Prescribing System

SA Health provides cancer care and treatment services across South Australia delivering patient care through the cancer journey, from preventative and early detection of cancer, through treatment and on to survivorship or end of life.

A Health has procured a single statewide Enterprise Chemotherapy Prescribing System (ECPS), with a project initiated to plan, design and implement the solution across 19 metropolitan and regional public hospitals.

Once implemented, the system will:

support the needs of both adults and children attending any of the 19 public hospital sites across metropolitan and country South Australia with either a solid or blood tumour presentation requiring chemotherapy
improve patient experience in receiving the right medication at the right time
support SA Health chemotherapy service site staff by improving the safety of the entire medication management process for their patients
reduce the risk of adverse events relating to chemotherapy and cancer survival in South Australian public hospitals
improve medication safety resulting in a reduction in errors and serious untoward events.

The ECPS solution iQemo, developed by clinical solutions supplier iQ HealthTech, is being delivered in partnership with Altera Digital Health (formerly known as Allscripts Australia).

iQemo has been successfully deployed to the following sites:
