EMR vendor Allscripts has won the contract to supply an electronic medical record and community health administration system for the Gippsland Health Alliance in what will be the first implementation for the US giant's Sunrise suite in Australia besides the huge EPAS system it is rolling out for the South Australian Health Department.

Allscripts also has a large footprint in Western Australia and Victoria with the BOSSnet digital medical record it bought following its acquisition of Core Medical Solutions in December last year.
