Not a great track record of major project governance in Queensland on the back of the previous QH Payroll debacle. The consistent theme in Queensland, South Australia (ePAS) and Victoria (HealthSmart) is that State-wide systems are high risk due to lack of clear governance. NSW Health (after several false starts) seems to have succeeded in the roll-out of the eMeds Project along with the (not Statewide) Parkville sites in Victoria with EPIC on the back of the previous Royal Children's Hospital implementation => Governance Model has to match the Delivery Model.
