The Minister Replied:
(1) Yes
(2) Arthur Andersen was the prime contractor, Matrix Australia their sub-contractor and Computer Associates supplied the project coordination.
Pilot Costs were funded by the Commonwealth under the then Medicare Strategic Capital Planning allocation and paid as follows:
- Arthur Andersen / Matrix : $1 562 000
- Computer Associates (formerly Platinum) : $ 261 930
(3) The system will assist Health Services to manage their facility risks and satisfy the Government's Strategic Asset Management objectives. The pilot was based on the information registration and processing part of the system at 6 major Rural Health Services. Once installed, this was subjected to a formal post implementation review and this showed that the objectives were achieved or exceeded. Use of the system is not mandatory, but as the major Health Services see the benefits, it is envisaged that further Health Services will introduce the initiative.
