Victoria to fund $124m Epic roll-out at Parkville precinct

Melbourne Health, the Royal Women's Hospital and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre will implement an Epic electronic medical record with $124 million in funding to be announced in today's state budget.

The facilities missed out last year in their bid to roll out the system used at Royal Children’s Hospital, which has seen a 27 per cent reduction in medication errors since it went live in April 2016. The bid was subsequently re-scoped.
